I think it has come out nicely...
Dodging of the rocks will help. There is a bird in the sky that ruins the view
Cheers Ole
Thanks Nandakumar. "
Nice shot. I agree about opening up the shadows. There is interesting detail there, and it's hidden in the original. While I don't think I have ever replaced a sky, I have to agree that the blank sky detracts in this case. IMHO, there is no reason to remove the bird. I rather like it, and it provides scale.
Did you do any alterations to the colours before (or during) the mono conversion, Joe? For example, darkening the blues to help with the sky and brightening the yellows to lighten the shoreline.
And yes, in that particular case I would also leave the bird.
