Rod

While experimenting with RAW exposure I tried for a dramatic effect in this cloud shot. I probably overdid it, but I wanted to see how far I could go before it started to look artificial. In Photoshop I did Contrast [+], Unsharp Mask, and a bit of Crop along the left edge. The natural curvature along the bottom makes it look kinda fish-eye, but that's just the way the clouds & trees were arranged. My favorite part is the little "Maxfield Parrish" cloud banks along the bottom.

Good shot Rod. Nice and sharp with beautiful color.

It does look almost like it might be artificial, but that's the way real life looks too sometimes. Very dramatic.
