This final Smith Point shot is a bit a fraud. I don’t really count it as part of the experiment because the location of the object(s) [yes it’s a composite] was about a mile away from the actual target location. Nonetheless I liked the way it came out and thought I would include it for your consideration.

Great image Larry! I never would have guessed it was a composite.
ReplyDeleteIf you have time to play with this image at some later date you might try adding a Curves Adjustment Layer using a mask to see if you can brighten up the building just a tad to help it pop from the background a little more.
It's really nice as is though!
Well done!

Great! Nice sky, interesting foreground and middle ground. I wouldn't have known it was a composite either. Or that you "stretched" your rules a little. :)
