Sanat, this image surely captures the feeling of being at the top of a majestic mountain. I like what you did to bring out the shadows. The tree provides perspective and scale although it runs off the rightside of the frame (you might consider deleting some branches?). There are some dust specks in the sky that could be easily removed.   Posted: 11/10/2025 21:30:50

Hey Sanat. A very nice image. I agree with Charles. Adobe Camera Raw has a fairly new feature that removes Dust. It also has a visualize Spots feature. I must admit I missed any dust. Again Very nice image.   Posted: 11/12/2025 18:15:18

Hi Sanat,

The image is well done! It was a smart choice to capture it the way you did initially, and increasing the shadows really enhances the final result. As mentioned in other comments, don't forget to remove the dust spots, and you can easily do that with tools like ACR or LR.

Regarding the shadow adjustment, did you mask the clouds and sky? To me, the clouds seem slightly overexposed, or the highlights might be a bit too high. You can adjust that in ACR as well.

Thanks!   Posted: 11/21/2025 06:13:14
