Margaret, Thank you for the welcome and your commentary on my pictures. It's very nice to have you visit cause even though we had not met before, I was already familiar with your portfolio. I remember a beautiful flower abstract you had done (I think it was a rose, had 2 versions) which had impressed me quite a bit.

Fadel, Thank you for the rework, that was very nice of you. Sorry the sky was very hard to work with! I'll try your technique in skies with better cloud definition. About channel mixer: I had tried it out before but I'm not very good with it. Here's an example I had done. Same sky, slightly different coloring.

Thanks for posting the original Lily, here's my take (I did the trick I mentioned before, plus a S shaped curves layer for extra contrast in the sky only).

Wonderful cityscape scene Lily, and welcome to usefilm! I think the original is really great and I also love the other versions by you and Carsten. A technique I usually use to get a dramatic sky, is to use a channel mixer adjustment layer with hard light blending mode, set monochrome, increase red and decrease blue until I'm happy with what I see. Is there a color version of this image?

Lily, this is great. I actually used to live in a city that was nicknamed the Copper City. Although the town was built around a mine, literally.
BTW, welcome to Usefilm.

This is a lovely image Lily. As a first pos it is outstanding and shows you have a great potential for photography. I prefer the original image to any of the subsequent modifications personally. I love the reflections off the building and also the coper toning. I also wish my view from my house was as lovely as this!
Well done and a warm welcome to Usefilm.

Lily, welcome to Usefilm. After looking over the image and comments, I'm at a loss as to what I might add. But here are my two cents anyway. I love the way the sky has been opened up in subsequent posts below so as to show a greater range of tone and color. If you were to bring out some color in the lower portion (find threads which would complement the colors in the sky), I think it would add a lot to the overall image and give it more dimension. In closing, I like the composition and mood of this very much. Antonia

Nice lowkey shot, with dramatic sky, love that. I tried a quick mask with a circular gradient layer and overlay light blending mode for the sky region, to get somewaht spot of sunlight (lost the beautiful copper tone on the way...) You have a good eye, come on and post another one :-)

Andrea, Thanks for your comments. You have a good eye for things. The sun is setting from behind me in the hills so there is not supposed to be any sun in the clouds you view. This is Portland downtown area. You are looking at it from the west during late afternoon.

Very nice night shot, I love dramatic sky and lighting situations. Afterwork on 8bit/channel RAWs from your Powershot can lead to unnatural looking tones as in your tweaked example. I know that from my Canon G1 that has the same issues, and I recommend working on levels with converter software, as BreezeBrowser (www.breezesys.com) before the PS tuning, to avoid overstressed tones.

What about this shot?
I like the sun reflection on the tower palace together with the sky dark tone... I prefer this version to the one where you did the cloudd less dark. I'm quite curios, as In transit, to understand what is the city taht appears in the image, too.
Ciao.

Hi In Transit! Cool name. :-) Thank you so much for your welcome and comments. I appreciate it v much. This was actually taken from my 1st floor balcony perched up on a hill. I agree the clouds can be improved. Here's one version where I have a gradient mask on one one of my layers. I don't know if it's any better.

1. Welcome
2. I am trying to guess where this city is... but so far... unsuccessful
3. PS is certainly an interesting tool... but the real beauty... more often than not... is the original capture... even if it means... waiting all day long (with a picnic & a bottle of wine)... for the sun to finnally hit that spot... there are people out there... do just that... not U No Who!
4. In PS you have done well... but wonder whether some attention can be given to the clouds...
