I love stark landscapes…where is this one…

It is at the top of a mountain called “Alto da Groba” from where there are spectacular views. From here you can see the sea. The only drawback is that it is usually very windy.
There is another play raw just a few metres from this location.
Thanks for your comment.
Best regards…

@age I think you have the cleanest rendition so far. The others, pushing it too much, caused halos and artifacts to emerge, when I zoom in or out. Yours still has a little fringing around the leaves though.

Here is my very simple approach to an image which was well exposed in the camera and didn’t require much effort to get a nice result. BTW, a mixture of scene referred and displayed referred modules to achieve the look I liked.

The masking was inexpertly and hurriedly done, I may have another go some other time.

Nice middle of the day shot, so I tried to make the most of it. Brought up the visual impact of the foreground rocks so as to emphasize the little “avenue” of grass through the rock that continues to the rock in the pond, then on (via the trunk) to the head of the tree.

Hello,
This is a magnificent, timeless image. As there are many beautiful editions, I suggest a monochrome version.
I took the opportunity to try out the new color equalizer module of the master version.

I like the original, so in my play in GIMP I have tried to make slight changes to local contrast using layer masks and changes to local saturation.

I just recalibrated my monitor now that KDE 6 wayland supports ICC profiles, please someone let me know if it looks very strange

That support is theoretical at this point. It does not work, as I understand it.
Your interpretation looks very underexposed. Do you have your screen brightness cranked up high?
