Orton Landscape
Friends, this image was taken right after a rain that left the clouds spotty The clouds were shading the background, while the foreground hill was in the light. I love to photograph the badlands right after a rain when the sun peeks out and gives spotlights on the saturated landscapes. This might be a candidate for the Orton Effect in Photoshop. Which rendition do you like? til Tomorrow MJ

I also like the sharp version best. I think the Orton Effect is best for creating a blurred background that can then be inserted into the background of another picture.
great photo, i like the top one best, the light is brilliant with the spotty clouds
thanks christine for your opinion, maybe the sharp version is best, MJ
