Nothing too fancy here. Once again @Popanz has done an inspiring edit. I am not sure what is in that German beer that helps so much?

A second attempt trying to add some more oomph

Hey @ap1 Welcome to the community!

Lovely shot… Here’s my RT 5.13 rc1-30 edit. GHS applied, stretched and local intensity increased, CIECAM tweaked to reduce blue saturation and to add contrast and chroma.

Edit: just had another look to try and get the clouds more prominent… still struggle with this, so left it as it is.

Malt, water, hop and yeast. More is not allowed in Germany, so maybe it’s more about leaving things aside, than putting stuff in. :rofl:

By the way I’m not that happy with my edit. Thanx for the flowers anyway.

Maybe it’s the overall brightness which is nagging me. I will have another try later on.

Edit:
Next version. Better?
(Something seems to be fishy on this pic.)

Lovely picture, wanted to convey the lightness and a bit highlight the colors in the front waves and surf-mud.

Nice capture and some pretty good interpretations. Tried to add more drama to the sky but only partially succeeded. :slight_smile:

Bitte ein Bit!

What should - only in my view! - be left in this picture is the lightness…
