The darker higher in contrast appeals more to me! It brings out the texture and moodiness of the landscape!

Hey Angelo,
I try to take my UF mission seriously ;-)
But you're right: Time is a precious thing, especially at UF with the massive amount of new images every day.

Yes, Thilo. I think this is more eye-catching, even in a thumbnail.
But the original tells a more complete story, with more detail.
Maybe it says something about the Internet age. Most people (me included) only have a limited time and only spend a few seconds to look and evaluate a photo. Some spend even less commenting on it! (A couple of words and we're done...)
I am happy to please with impactful eye-candy, but I also like telling a more gentle story. So gotta upload both versions :)
Thanks for all your support, Thilo!

Tbis is a definate improvement over the lighter version. This is quite dramatic and crisp. The darker frame emphaizes well. Wonderful.

Marcio,
O "filtro" digital que utilizei foi o Channel mixer: R +140, G +20, B -60, Monochrome. Simula um filtro vermelho na frente da lente, escurecendo os azuis.
Adicionei, abaixo dessa, uma layer "Solid Colour" com blending "Colour Burn" e a cor foi um azul, valores RGB (100, 100, 200)
Isso aumentou o azul do céu e, colateralmente, o efeito do filtro.
Tem ainda uma curva nova, com contraste bem acirrado, que utilizo aqui pela primeira vez.
Que legal que você gostou!

Hi Angelo,
first of all: Don't take me too serious ;-)
second: WOW! Especially the foreground and the middle parts rock the hell. bold as bold can be. this is so different to the first upload... and definitely a cool one. the sky is a bit blown out, I have to check your orignal picture... check... ah okay, the sky is kind of blown out in the original one, but not to a point u cannot restore it... starting PS... okay, I just did some minimal work here, but the sky has some more detail. this is the only thing I would think about an enhancement. some masking is needed but you don't loose the detail in the sky.
Anyway, I'm really proud that you mentioned me and that you took my opinion so seriously. thanks a lot mate.
best wishes,
Thilo

Thank you for your comment, Bryan. You make a great point. Let me see if I can elaborate on my point of view.
To be honest, I like both versions. A big part of what I get out of UF is learning what can be done (what I can do), what my options are, from exchanging ideas with fellow photographers.
The first version is an "I was there with a film camera, stuck a filter in front and this is what I got from a straight print" kind of image.
The second version (this one here) is more, "I came home, spent a lot of time in the darkroom using different grade printing, lots of dodging and burning and this is what came out" kind of image.
My interpretation of the scene is that I wanted to show a beautiful, rugged and yet delicate place. I honestly think both versions are valid intrepretations of this.
I am still fairly early in the journey of developing my own personal style, and I find this type of play and experimentation is very enjoyable.
Hope that cleared it up a little.
Thanks again for your comment!

Angelo,
I think it is more important to interpret the scene in your mind and then try to realize this interpretation through a final print. so the question is 'what was your original interpretation of this scene?' Were you trying to communicate a harsh environment, a dry environment, an environment full of light... what? the tones should serve to communicate this interpretation.
personally I find that the first version has MUCH more detail in the sky/clouds as well as the grass and shadow areas. this version may be dramatic but the quality of tones is not so good -- the subtle highlights are completely gone and the shadows are nearly all blocked up now.

Yes it?s dramatic and moody but also surreal! The hard contrast make it also a little scary... For me the hard contrast works well with the grass and the darkness around it higlights it perfectly..... i?m not sure about the clouds.... ut thats a peersonal taste thing.
