Re: Napa Valley
I don't care for the processing at all. The composure on the first one has potential but the editing completely ruins it. Besides the foreground being very faint and washed out, you can see the distinct editing when you swapped in the sky on both shots.

Re: Napa Valley
These pictures would have been perfect without so much PP. Napa valley is a beautiful place and really does not need so much editing to show it. Good composition though

Re: Napa Valley
I'm commenting because I have the opposite view. I actually really like the PP on the first one. Gives it a nice, abstract, how your mind remembered the sunset feel. A pleasant change to the sharp reality we are always dealing with.
Next time head up to Amador and El Dorado counties instead. More wineries, nicer wine, and they (with a very few exceptions) don't charge for a tasting.

Re: Napa Valley
Do you have the originals? It would be interesting to compare
