    Clouds on the hills

    About a mile from our house in Ashland, OR I saw this cloud formation and thought it was fun. Being in the mountains now, should be fun to see what the weather brings.

    WOW! certainly. How about cropping the blue sky and also getting rid of the magenta cast. I love it though.
    Cheers Ole

    I agree: quite an amazing site.

    I agree also about the magenta cast. You'd have to play with it, as it seems that the deepest shadows still have some cast even when the image as a whole is made more neutral. I will post one that has a substantial shift from magenta toward green to show what I mean.

    You appear to have a lot of dirt on your sensor. I circled some spots.

    Like it a lot, but agree with the comments on the colour cast, and with Ole on cropping out the sky. (The cropping is a personal taste comment, not a critique).

    Like several others I agree about the magenta factor. But oh, some people can be so pedantic and nitpicking.

    LOL. Not much magenta in the clouds anyway ... lots of red, orange and blue though ...
