Burbage Sunrise

Steve,

There is a bit of a halo visible at the left side of the top stone - apparently from light intensity adjustment between the rocks and the sky (shadows highlighting?). Try this link;

Look for ?Advanced Masking? at the very bottom of the tutorials list.

Otherwise the image has nice colors and mood to it. Composition is not bad but it does not grab me as some of your other landscapes. I think I would try to place the larger object closer and leave gap between foreground and background, thus amplifying the space perspective. I never done landscapes, but that is how it seems I would go about it. Of course you try all kinds of stuff and see what works the best.

I have redone this with some better masking thanks for Sergey's suggestions.

Very powerful shot Steve, a lot of feeling with the dark contrast. I nearly missed this, confusing the thumbnail with the previous one. Another early rising!.

Love this one, moody, detail in the shadows. whatever processing was necessary has been well done.
