Afternoon foliage over the bayou

Mid-afternoon bright October sunlight on the trees overhanging Kisatchie Bayou at the campground near Natchitoches, Louisiana.

Processed in greycard, just as an exercise. I’m sure I’m just scratching the surface of what (and indeed, how it) can be done. It’s not exactly as it looked IRL: the tree was yellower. But it’ll take time for me to become accustomed to the new tool.

Please note I had to rename the sidecar to accommodate forum permissions. Remove .txt from it before loading the image in greycard, if you wish.

Hi Len. Can you share the raw file since it is a PlayRaw. Thanks.

P.S. I hope the weather is treating you nicer where you are now.

My excuse is, it was late. Sorry about that – Will upload momentarily.

Yes, it’s been MUCH better lately – Finally! :slight_smile:

Beautiful shot, thanks for sharing! I always find it difficult to properly crop these reflection-heavy photos. Contrast and Texture did wonders to clean up the shot!

My edit with dt nightly using spektrafilm & heavy use of C&T.

XMP for 5.7 only!

My take

Added gamma exposure, added contrast, worked a bit the colours for an autumnal look, a touch of sharpen
