Had to clone out a BUNCH of wires. Hope it's not too obvious where?

Scenic Vista
While in northern Arizona, we explored the Page area, home base to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (Lake Powell). Not too far from Page is the eastern edge of the Vermillion Cliffs. To reach them, you drive down a twisty road and follow the Colorado River, crossing where rafters heading on a week-long journey through the Grand Canyon begin their adventure. It was a mostly high-overcast day, with the warmer river water colliding with the cool air, causing a ribbon of mist in the valley. On our return to Page, the fog broke up, exposing this gorgeous vista. We pulled over, hiked up a little hill, and took some shots. This is one of my early experiments in shooting RAW.

Not obvious at all, and wow, that is a drop dead gorgeous image, Val, so mysterious, yet so eye pleasing!! Wow, WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteGood job with the cloning. This is a remarkable view.
ReplyDeleteI dont see any wires, its looks great. I like shooting in RAW, I feel like it lets me be in control of color and things instead of some computer algorithm (not that I am a control freak, cough, cough). Did you adjust any colors or anything else?
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a fantastic photo. It has the look of a classic oil painting. Well done with your RAW experiment...
ReplyDeleteWow! Well done on the cloning. I could look at this forever! Love your new header image too!!!
ReplyDeleteThat view is amazing! What a beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteYou should not have told us of the wires, we would never have known, we would have been too awed by the splendour of the image! I love it!
ReplyDeleteAlmost looks like a painting - must have been incredible to be there.
ReplyDeleteIt does look painterly. Your cloning job is about perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, Val! You and John should think about leading a photographic excursion sometime. You have both the travel experience and the photographic eye to make it successful.
ReplyDeleteVal - sorry I missed this one yesterday --- it is unbelievable! I can't find the clone at all.... You have outdone yourself with this one and so early in the process.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shot! You did a fantastic job cloning out the wires and it was clearly worth the effort (in cloning and in hiking up to get the view) Have fun with Raw - I shoot everything that way now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture! Certainly worth framing! Can't tell where you cloned at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat wires?
ReplyDeleteThis is positively breathtaking!
