Any thoughts on this landscape which, coincidentally caught the colors we're looking for?

Thanks for looking...

    Love the colors, wish there was something other than water in the foreground.

    Sky is beautiful - great colors & clouds. Wonder if you could brighten the water to make it appear silver-ish?

    This is really nice. The sky color is spectacular, though I do agree the the foreground water is problematic. So... as has been suggested above, I think you might play a little and see what a few different edits might do.

    Think about...
    ...cropping to minimize the amount of water (although the color difference of the water as it is now may be just as distracting in a small band on the bottom as it is currently) So...

    ...what might it look like with just the sky? That's where the real impact of the image is for me, or...

    ...I like the idea of playing with the tonal palette of the water. I suspect it might move quite easily to the purple spectrum.

    Regardless of what you do or don't do to it - kudos on a beautiful capture. I live a few miles from the coast in southern CA and have been waiting for the rain to break at sunset (when I can get there). Life's just so dang hectic this time of year.

    And every cloud has a ... golden ... lining? Beautiful capture and colors. thumb.gif That being said, I agree that something in the water would anchor the foreground. Short of that, I find the right side of the photo slightly distracting. Perhaps cropping out the blue section and having a slightly vertical comp? ne_nau.gif

    OK. I can crop around a bit. But I cannot fix the foreground. This was an "oh, look, it is silver and gold" moment while editing away after a day's shoot. Wasn't planned, and therefore, wasn't fixed before leaving. Back to the drawing board. Thanks everyone.

    No. No. You can very well fix that Water to have a Golden Hue!! I know you can, right? (Theres prob only fifty ways to do it!)...You do that and it's on like a Pot of Chicken Bones!
