Excellent…

Take 1: Smoking hot day… limited processing (what I imagine it to look/feel like)

Take 2: processed, tried for reds and blues (too much?), saturation and contrast.

Either way… one day I’m going!

Normal edit: (no added grain)

Found a trick to scale the image down before adding grain, so here’s a slightly different edit exported at ‘half size’ but without resizing the grain:

I did something unusual for me. I used filmic V7. I compared initial editing with AgX, Filmic and Sigmoid and felt the blue sky looked better with Filmic.

I prefer the clarity of the top image. Maybe it’s just me.

Probably a bit overdone… hope you like it anyhow

I tried to create a scene that seemed real to me, while keeping the saturation under control.
DT 5.7.0.

This area is truly special… The rocks are really red, amazingly red…
So, trust me I did not push the Saturation slider to the max.

[Tim (Tim Cuthbertson)]

Ok. I have seen the red rocks in Colorado, so I know what you mean. Is this more like it? It is the same as my prior post with some tweaks in Color Equalizer.

Trying film looks.
vkdt->darktable
filmsim: Gold 200 on Supra Endura → rgb primaries and sharpening

Tried my luck on a b&w version of ‘Delicate Arch’, what a beauty’s!

Another re-do. This time, I did not use Color Equalizer to artificially change the rocks to red. Instead, I used Filmic RGB, and when I selected Color Science of v5 and Preserve Chrominance to No, they popped from tan to red. I used only exposure, white balance, diffuse or sharpen, and filmic rgb.
