This is a 16x20" of a scene around here. Not sure how it's working--would love some feedback.
Hi Elliot, I really like the composition and the three colors, cool red, green and gray/blue. However, the chalky lights bother me some on the rock and sky! Brian
Thanks for the help Brian! The photo is a little overexposed, but it still is probably chalky. I guess I would fix with a warmer yellowy-white or else a cooler purply or bluey-white. Which do you think? Or do you have a totally different idea?
Hi Elliot, I think I would warm those lights up a bit...looks like a bit of paynes gray in there...maybe try mixing the green and red with a little more green to warm it and then add some white, don't know if that'll work until you test it.
