Reminescent of the "Burning Tree."  This was taken a few minutes later.  |

Wow, Chris! What a gorgeous evening!  #1 is quite dramatic and i like the composition and how extraordinary the scene is but something's a bit off? The muddy ground in the front seems blurry and distracting? Is it, already, cropped in? What about a landscape perspective? and the blown part is really quite bright.... #2 has that beautifully clear and glassy quality that we love and is just beautiful. Do they both need the old nifty-difty ccw straighten, though??? |

Mud is quite sharp and I double checked the horizon line on both...seem to be right on the money.
1st one may be a bit oof on foreground..but looks much better at 300dpi

Hello Chris, Nice …. and a good illustration of how fast the light – and mood – changes. Did you use your Grads on these? I've ordered mine – they should be here any year soon.  |

I prefer your second image, I like the sky lines on the right, drawing your eye towards the sun, and the foreground mud banks and grass works well with just enough detail. I did feel that the image looked stronger with a crop off the top, putting the horizon on the thirds.

I used the grads on three and the grads in PS5 on two...I like how photoshop allows you to use multiple grads but still feel theon camera ones give the best gradation control. #2 uses the on camera gnd soft edge
