African Road Trip

[Fanie]

Yes!, we are getting there, much better than my version.

Fanie, I used two exposures and blended - so the sky was mostly done in ACR.

Fanie ... Really good stuff. Your images drew me into the photos and I felt I was there. Well done. (Elsa's sky really enhances the image.)

[Erik Lund]

What a superb roadtrip! Really well captured! Very nice PP colors and framing, only nit pick is when the horizon is not level in captures like the falls and the pano crop.

Makes it look out of balance...

Nice rescue by Elsa on the back lit shot!

A superb serie. All pictures are really nice.

I like the baobabs  (both pictures) one with sunset and next one.

The last one is well done with the tiny human elements giving a big plus to this pic. It leans slightly to the right, tough.

Thank you for sharing, Francis.

Thanks Eric, those two photos were indeed very slanted, duly corrected, although the haze in the Vic falls photo has me battling to pick a line.

[Gary]

Definitely an improvement, especially for the last image.

[Erik Lund]

Thanks for reposting the edit! Looks much better

[Erik Lund]

BTW, it's not so much' picking a line' to straighten from, it's more about the balance in the image. For a lot of images a slanting horizon looks quite good!

It's just in the first one the water should more or less fall directly towards the center of earth...

I could not resist doing some editing 



2 graduated filters in ACR, one for the sky , one for the ground
1 b&w layer blended in luminosity mode

Wow, thanks Armando, that's a great rendition, love it.
