I struggle with color and often composition. However, this one is about color and knowing which is best. Also, more or less sky?
The first is one photo the next 2 are the same photo different processing. Honestly I don't remember what my eye saw as the most real color. The sky is enhanced, but did look like that as I remember. Not the pretty clouds I wanted, but I remember thinking well that sky is pretty.
I do not sell photos or put them in galleries, but would like advice on how to decide which is best, or none or keep working! I like each, for example the middle one I like the coloring better than the last, but the last seems sharper and more detail.
Thanks for your thoughts!

I struggle with color and often composition. Howe... (
show quote)
I really like all for different reasons
maybe a little less sky would add a little more "Drama"( just crop off the top lighter part) Heck give it a whirl! see what you think, cost you nothin.
Hard to decide Beth - each of the treatments result in a beautiful image. Although close, I like image #1 best.
Beautiful photo & any of the 3 will do but after juggling trew them a couple of times, I choose the last one.
Certainly not an expert, but my favorite of these is the 1st one. The colors seem much richer and more vivid. Just an opinion! Lovely view.
It’s the first one for me because I see it as more vibrant.

To me #2 looks more natural in terms of color and natural degree of haziness.. The other two seem over-sharpened to me.

#3 for me. I can see more detail in that one and doesn't have that "over-processed" look.
That was part of my problem, to me the middle one was what I remember it looking like the most… I did overdo the sky in my zest for an interesting sky. I have redone the sky and like them better, it was not a huge change but subtle enough to make the sky less, what ever!

Do you see green and yellow tone like someone else mentioned?
Beth, I really like #1. The light play on the peaks is lovely.
To me, the sky seems a little overdone, but I definitely like the color of the canyon in #1 and #3. #2 reminds me of what the canyon actually looks like just a few minutes before sunrise, with a distinct bluish tint. For an early morning photo I prefer #2, but that's simply my opinion.

Thanks for your thoughts. Would you suggest these have a little less PP? I try to not over bake, but it does happen sometimes!
I think they're all great. If I had to choose, I guess I would choose #2. It seems to be what I remember it would look like in real life and is very, very nice. No. 3 does look a little PPed .
I've liked photography for many years and have taken some classes but I really don't consider myself very knowledgeable. I take so many pictures to get what I want and, even then, they're only a relatively few that I really like. Many of the others which are worth saving do give me pleasure, bringing up memories and allowing me to be creative with photobooks, calendars, and greeting cards. It's also always nice to get some positive feedback from UHHers.
Everyone will have their own likes, but from the eyes of an artist I would pick #2. I think that purple overcast just makes this photo incredible! You like what you like, they say! Beautiful shot, Beth.
They are all good but I also see a bit of green in #1. I like #3 as having the truest colors.
