    The Hills are Alive with....

    So here's where The Sound of Music was filmed in Salzberg, Austria.

    Comments and critiques are welcome, though it might be hard to go back for any retakes.

    Jessica, I think your composition here is fine. It is a good shot. I would critique the sky though here in that it is washed out a bit. You could have benefited from a circular polarizer to increase the saturation of the blue sky and to further define the clouds, but this can be addressed to a good extent in Photoshop. I would create a duplicate layer and apply the multiply layer property to it,(20% opacity is all you may need here) and then erase the effects from the areas below the skies. You could also just select the sky area and create a layer from the selection and apply the multiply effect to that layer. Many different ways of doing the same thing.
    A fine image, but work the sky a bit for a better one.
    Good work
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    I was thinking it could use a little saturation, Gahspidy said it better than I could have. It's a beautiful city and image, it just needs a little P/P

    a cokin grad on the camera would have had a beautiful sky.. a slight under exposure would have been the only alternative without one.. then the post process tweak..

    skies are nearly always the problem..

    its still a nice image thow slightly blown sky or not..
