About the Image(s)
The title of the image is Minnesota Misty Morning. I took this mid September in the Boundary Waters near Ely, MN. My camera was a Nikon D750 and the lens for Nikon 70-200mm f/4. Focal length 175mm, f/9.5, 1/180 ISO 100, hand held.
In LR, I adjusted the exposure and then exported to Photoshop so I could clean up the upper portion of the tree with the clone tool. I also use the crop tool to add just a little space to the upper portion of the image. Back in LR, I again adjusted the exposure paying attention to lightening the blacks and brightening the whites, used a gradient tool on the blue portion of the sky to remove some of the yellow from the blue with the temperature slider. To my eye, that part of the sky was just too green. I then used the Hue/Saturation/Luminance function to reduce the saturation and increase the luminance of the blue in the sky. I cropped it to leave less empty space on the right side of the image. I slightly sharpened it and added a light vignette.

It is almost monochrome, so I tried switching it to b/w, but did not like it. But in that process, I did like the attached, which was about 25% desaturated. For discussion only, I am attaching it.   Posted: 11/03/2020 18:19:24
