A beautiful sunrise in the Adirondack Mountains, the sun worked hard to punch through a thick layer of clouds and haze. These clouds covering the sun caught my eye. Hope you like it! As always, comments and critiques are much appreciated! Thanks!

Very nicely captured. Different, in a good way. I think a little boost in contrast might intensify the image more.

This neat, and kind of spooky. It seems underexposed. That's okay I think. Just boost the contrast as Bill suggested. I might also try and brighten the light on nthe edges of the clouds some more too.

Beautiful. A unique capture and an eye-catching scene. I, also would like to see more contrast in it.

Thanks guys! Unfortunately more contrast brings out more noise... any thoughts on that?

I don't see a lot of noise there myself. maybe I don't have a great eye for that. I do almost all of my noise removal in ACR. It does a good job imo. If you get things looking pretty clean before opening into pS, you should be fine. Also don't apply very much sharpening to the sky if there's noise you can't get rid of. It likes to cling to it. That's about all I can offer. Any more advanced methods are beyond my normal workflo. I think some very slight curves adjustments would work well for this.
