We're on the Road to Nowhere...But Which One?

Radtech1 · 21st of September 2004 (Tue)

I fiddled with this, and fiddle with it some more, and I finally got the way I liked it. Then, by accident, I got the way I liked it - again! Now what do I do? That sky is real, but the original shot was a little flat and washed out, so I put the sky on its own layer and tweaked it separately. That is when I unintentionally popped the brightness on the sky layer, and like it.

Now I am unsure which to go with. Any thoughts?

Image 1: more brilliant blue sky.

Image 2: bolder whites in the clouds.

Image 3: And just for giggles, lets toss in a mono as well.

I would exit the 1 left, go over yump into 4 right and over yump into long 3 left don't cut.

I like the 2nd one, with more white in the clouds, it looks like a more attractive place to drive down the road towards.

The monochrome one is just cool though. It has a very evil bent to it.

Killer shot man...I like the first personally.

...don't cute, looks like that 5 tightens.

Not the last one; clouds become too 'busy', I like the first one.

Radtech,

The first one seems to give the best presentation. The washboard road texture is more evident.

Us Harley guys hate that. Maybe OK for dirt bikers and off road vehicles.

Rad-
Have you played around with select color in PS ? I'd punch up some of the colors...other than that, nice shot!

I like them all, but that mono one stands out--the clouds.
