8 - The shot that sums up my last holiday
This was taken in the Julian Alps in Slovenia. I like the shot because (a) as the title implies, it represents a very strong memory of my last holiday, (b) it capture the sense of reasonably high altitude – the neighbouring peaks and the level of the clouds and (c) the figures, particularly those ascending the hidden slope in the foreground, add perspective. My challenge was trying to get the balance right between texture and contrast due to the very bright foreground. I've tried to address this using curves, but I'm not convinced I've achieved much.
