Nature's Clothing

[snerd]

Hmmm.......... never sure if I should put these in Landscape or Nature forum? Anyway, I dug into Lightroom and with some different tools. My workflow is pretty much to check exposure, then highlights and shadows, add clarity and vibrance. Then I'll look at the Curves tab and see if I can do anything to my liking. Then I'll go th the Details tab and do my sharpening and NR if needed. This time I also went to the Hue/Color/B&W tab and chose Luminance, then drug across the sky to enhance the blue a little bit. A new tool I tried, yea!!!! All edits and criticism welcome, I usually discover new lessons from them. I'll upload the originals if needed. Thanks!

I'm not sure if it's processed too much, or not enough. I'm just not sure lol.

I do like the photo though.

You know the routine! Upload the original and I'll see what I can do lol.

5DIII with the 70-200L II handheld. And like I was saying yesterday, right now I'm more concerned with learning LR than getting killer shots.

LOL. Mike has his name in the sig Noticed it just last night which is always good to know.

I like the colours and the DOF lead in. The second shot I like the most with using those leading lines at left and right. That pulls the eyes in.

All the best Mike.

Try a double reverse psychology maneuver following up with a hammer lock and then an armbar takedown. That should do the trick.
