About the Image(s)
Original image taken at 1/60, f14, ISO250, 29mm.
As much as I liked this picture, I had in mind another version - one that is a bit moodier, and more colourful.
Post processing in ACR, Photoshop (primarily Curve and Hue/Saturation adjustments - heavy handed!).
Finally used a Topaz Studio filter (?) to change the moodiness.
As always, much appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

This has taken on the look of a double or triple exposure, to me. It's an interesting interpretation, but I think you lost a lot of depth from the original, especially just to left of center where you can see further into the deeper forest. You also lost the dramatic shadows of the trees, which, to me, convey moodiness beautifully. So I took a stab at playing to retain the depth I feel is missing in your version. The light colored sky doesn't contribute to moodiness, so I cropped most of it out. Then I just used On1 Glow, HDR, and vignette filters. It's not as impressionistic and creative as your version, for sure. Just another way of getting to moody. Posted: 11/10/2024 01:11:29
Thanks for your critique. You're right - the sky does not work me either - not only too bright but also too "real".
