hi Keith I would like your opinion on this picture. I worked on it a long time and did like the effect but I feel there is still something wrong..lol Smile

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks if you can help.

Hi Jan,

My suggestion would be to lift the foreground to bring out the sunbeams and colour there. I lassoed a section of the foreground and feathered by 100 - 150 and bought up the levels palette and adjusted the white level to lighten the foreground and added a little contrast. If you wanted to tweak it further you might try dodging the highlights and burning the shadows a bit to up the contrast some more but keep the tools at no more than 3% exposure.

Thanks Keith. I will try to lighten the bottom up a little more. Smile

Hmm, I'm not sure you haven't overcooked the green, the colour looks wrong to me for a sunset.
