Seeing 2011 (#179)

For your consideration: the scene greeting me and some close friends upon arrival yesterday for an overnight gathering at the Lighthouse hostel at Pigeon Point.

A composite of two exposures sandwiched (one using an overlay layer effect at 50%); consider this a first draft . . . the sky is a bit overdone and the foreground could be lightened some.

    Wow,
    I wish I could have joined you on this one. Good scene to capture. You already hit the nail on the head in regards to the darkened foreground. What about just a simple composite without using the overlay layer affect, masking out the darkened areas to reveal a sub layer of higher exposure.
