[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Shot in Death Valley National Park, California. Perhaps the green vegetation is not what we usually associate with Death Valley! I used a polarising filter to deepen the sky and bring out the clouds.

PP: scanned from print, had to fix some scratches on the print. Added a little saturation, sharpened with unsharp mask and sharpened edges. Thought about brightening, but decided to leave it a little dark, as I like that deep blue sky. What do you think?

My first post in TL!

Midnight clouds? I like it anyway, well done! good PP works. Welcome to TrekLens- Amor

Hi Tim,
Very strong and impressive contrast. Personally I prefer the lady standing on one side. Nice work anyway.

Good start on TL :-)
I like the clouds!

Hi Tim, great photo. Who is the model and what is she looking at ? She seems to have her head in the clouds?
Great clouds by the way, sort of look like smoke signals rising into the sky from a faraway hill. Maybe she is reading the clouds and thinking "What IF I could read the future?".....
Thanks for sharing,
John
