Water channel - 2nd try

[armando_m]

Another visit to this place, this time closer to sunset ...

The light was producing very high contrasts and none of the images
had a correct exposure all over, avoiding burned highlights produces
very dark images, so ...

I did an HDR of the water channel


and a B&W version , which I think looks better than the color version


The "fog" on the left side is actually dust from a dirt road on the left side, being sunday afternoon seems like the whole town goes out for a drive near this place.

For comparison sake, here is the first take, from about 3 months ago, around noon.


Thanks for looking !

the b&w almost looks infrared. Very cool technique.

I like the first one best and it is a well done hdr.

The lighting in #1 is gorgeous! B&W is my least favorite, but all are nice!

Thanks for all the comments !

I did spend a few hours on the processing until I got the image to look as it is
I'm dreadfully slow when it comes to 'artistic' stuff
