4th Place
An Arizona Cloudy Sunset

Green Valley, AZ

This is a 6 shot HDR / Pano. Panos first, then a mild HDR, and followed by blending a couple of Topaz Restyle filters on top of the hdr.

Thanks all - this is version 3, where I masked out the foreground from all 3 of the blended of the Topaz Restyle filters.

Now that I see it on something other than the ipad (everything looks good on those) all you need to do is load this in photoshop and burn down the foreground shadow/bush areas. Maybe even a little in the clouds on midtone. Paul

Traveller - thanks. After looking more closely, I see what you mean - too much red in the foreground. Try this version, where the reds are desaturated in the foreground.

Dear Jim, I have to object on both of these images a little....the foreground shrubbery is just too far off, the sky is fine, but you need to mask off somehow the foreground and isolate it from this Topaz HDR treatment....then this will be perfect. Best Wishes, Traveller
