Very nice Ian – I like the clouds reflecting on the lake. The rocks in the foreground on the bottom right seem a tiny bit dark? Maybe a levels adjustment might work.
thanks for the C&C folks. You weren’t the first to point out that the image needed a bit of brightness lift in places.
I’ll do some selective levels adjustments (probably with layers) and repost later. It was handheld as we were
on a fairly quick trek and needed to keep eye on our kids near the lakeside so opportunity to setup a tripod
was limited.
Some layer mask and adjustment layers to bring out some of the suppressed shadow detail in the foreground rocks.
Tricky to bring these up too much. A single RAW image was taken but the dynamic range of digital being as it is makes
it challenging to pull out a lighter tonality in the foreground rocks.
I did some color cast removal (reduced blue cast somewhat) and selectively sharpened and de-misted the background hill detail
using high radius USM.
