I always like shots of old bare trees, and you have featured this one nicely in the POV/composition. The pp work gives the image a CGI look that reminds me a little of a Shrek movie:) There is a special light quality/mood that calls attention to all the visual details there are to enjoy. Good shot!

Mighty well done Dan. It 's a different shot in all aspects , the green is more vivid , pronounced and talk about the upper third , yes the sky ,,, your washed-out sky has become so much more intense , bluer of course it shows ....obviously and gained much more details ,frankly like a million more than there were initially ....hum .. Geeeee, this is pure magic , the way i see it now , i am blown away by this new sky Dan ! How did you do that ? Not on a single click and Bingo here it is! A bit more complicated , no ? Anyway amazing stuff , absolutely enjoy the changes it has brought to your original posting .I am going to check out this TA right away , need to read about it !
TFS, a vast improvement indeed ,

I certainly see an improvement here Dan, very effective lightening of the foreground without any loss of saturation. That red volcanic rock is certainly eyecatching, and that forest stretching as far as the eye can see makes a stunning vista.
Nice PP work on this one!

Dan,
Did you use Topaz Adjust with the new version?
I really like the pop of the new image - has an almost HDR look with colors that are really saturated and attractive.
Great improvement.

Hello Daniel,

This is an incredible example of an almost 3D effect in an image. I looked at the original and the workshop only to be left amazed at this. I have so much to learn about PP and so little time to dedicate to it. Thanks for this burst of inspiration.

Kind regards,
Jim

Hi Daniel,

Damn that's a beautiful image! Great composition and wonderful post-processing to bring out the colors and contrast. Just wonderful. I think you have Capture NX wired!
