I agree with most other comments. If you could get darken the sky and get a bit more contrast there, it would be a stronger image. I'm not too fussed about cropping the bottom but I'd dial back the saturation a tad.

Re: PESO: One more storm shot
I don't often disagree with Bob and Bruce, but this time I will. I often advocate cropping, but this time I won't! The shot as it is has a sense of scale that cropping would diminish. OTOH, I think the saturation is a bit overdone, and that the sky would be more foreboding if darkened a bit and boosted in contrast.

Re: PESO: One more storm shot
This is my first "real" foray into post-processing (and still starting from JPEG). Made an adjustment layer to play with the foreground levels (blowing out the sky) and gradient mask to the horizon to bring out the the original well-exposed sky. A bit of burning in and bumped the saturation by +15. (A little too much perhaps?) Did nothing to mitigate the original ISO 400 noise, which was probably "enhanced" by the saturation bump. Will be figuring out how to start with the RAW files next...

Re: PESO: One more storm shot
The most interesting part is weakened by too much foreground and sky. if you were to crop the bottom almost to the wire fence and a bit off the top I think the image would be much more powerful. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, April 26, 2010, 10:41:31 AM, you wrote: C> This was from my first real outing with the Sigma 10-20mm on my K200D: C> http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/4554704087/sizes/l/ C> Darren Addy C> Kearney, NE -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I was pleased to find mine on Craigslist in Denver in Pentax mount for $350. :) I think I'm going to like it!
