In remberence

I like the solemnity and framing here.
PP wise feels flat to me though; I might level this up if it were mine. (sky feels lost..and all the stones and people feel flat)

Thanks Marko
I'm getting really frustrated. These images look fine in Lightroom, but when I export to jpeg (with the size and quality) for the file to fit within the forum's 325Kb limit the highlights get killed resulting in reduced contrast and more of a muddy look.

I commented on this problem and edited your file here. http://www.photography.ca/Forums/arc...ni-arches.html



But if after you post it looks muddy, what I do, is just boost the contrast a bit.... I always save near 325K and I don't seem to have problems. Hmmmm

final thought - Try adding SELECTIVE dodging and burning into your routine if you are not doing that already. Global edits will only get you so far...selective dog/burn is essential to make images sing.

Thanks Marko. I'll have to re-think my processing technique.
