I had the wonderful chance to capture this image of Thor’s Well on the Oregon coast. I’ve been honing my photoshop blending and luminosity masking skills. Any cc is very welcome

Hi

Brilliant image.
I have just taken out the slight bow of the horizon.
Then I used a program called "Contrast Master" by Plugin Site. It is a PS plugin but I think it is also available as standalone.

Perhaps I have overdone it a bit, please let me know but I think it is just about right. And I have sharpened the image a wee bit.
The changes are all very minor.

Cheers

I actually really like your additions, I didn’t even see the little horizon bulge when I wa processing.

I would chase a little more detail in the (foreground) rocks, try the brush tool or levels.
Beautiful shot, you can only make it better.

You captured a really nice scene. I would have maybe shot from a slightly lower perspective and included a little bit more of the rocks on the bottom leading into the image. You also could boost the exposure on the foreground a little bit.

Hot damn.. that is a beautiful shot! I have never been to Thor's Well myself. But now I might have to make the trip. The additional contrast is actually very cool. It makes it look like there is some sort of massive storm on the horizon.

nice foreground to go with this fine image.

I might cut the highlights just a tad

I like this "bombast-landscapes" - it works like Yes, Meatloaf ec for me.

Great shot! Horizon line and a bit of more dreamy looking clouds (longer exposure on the clouds) - are two things in my mind.

Looks very nice, but it really needs more foreground. Also, straighten the horizon.

beautiful

aitrus3 · 12-15-2019, 08:06 AM

Foreground is a little dark. Horizon isn't quite straight and a little too close to centre verses being on the top third, so lowering the composition and including a bit more foreground rocks would really benefit the image. But you've done a fine job editing as is. Keep up the good work!

This is an incredible pic. I would like to visit it - I presume spring/summer should be the best, right?
