Thundery summer sunset and a question/poll

It seems I am a little bit too late, but I am posting my edit using ART. I am a newbie here. I thought it is colourful, punchy, but still believeable.

Hi Tony, never too late! :+1: :slightly_smiling_face: I like your version too - seems particularly good at drawing the eye in to frame…

This is my try at cooking this beautiful photo. I’m new to Darktable and new to pixls.us too. I generally prefer bland and natural edits over dramatic interventions, so for me even my edit is a bit overcooked :wink:

Great image, thanks for sharing. My play in GIMP. I decided not to change the brightest part of the sky, but to increase the brightness and contrast of the foreground and cropped some of the sky to add emphasis to it as well as having a more panoramic aspect.

Nice! Has an almost painterly feel, in the genre of one of those old masters… can’t quite think who I mean… :sweat_smile:

Perhaps…

That’s the kind of thing! Don’t think I knew of Albert Bierstadt though… :thinking:

Yep… Bierstadt knew more about realistic light than Thomas Kinkade ever showed, IMO. :slightly_smiling_face:

I think yours is my favorite edit so far. You have given a dimensiionality in the cloud cover that I don’t see in the others.
