Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Embarrassed to say how long I spent futzing with this image. Interested to see if anyone can do it like Daft Punk, or at least better, faster, stronger. I think it looks a bit overprocessed now, which to be fair, it is.

Gave it a go, but I ruined the colour of the flowers in the foreground.

Actually…after seeing it on this monitor I can see I ruined more than just the flowers :laughing:

This is the difference between my viewing and editing monitors:

I live in fear of the day I will finally be able to buy a display calibrator and be amazed at how off my edits are perceived by others while editing on my current monitor :face_with_peeking_eye:

Lol. I think it’s a hard one because it was still pretty bright in the evening with Scottish latitude and the contrast on the peaks is high, while hills in the summer are a uniform green.

Who talked about overprocessing? :innocent:

And who talked about uniform green… :upside_down_face:

I tried to make the flowers the point of focus just to be different (not better)

I am not sure what you mean with a Daft Punk edit :exploding_head: but tried my version anyway…

A little critique: There could be some more “breathing room” at the top. Otherwise a beautiful image.

Here is my version using, darktable for basic exporting to linear RGB and a custom film sim tool.

Good point. I have a slightly wider angle (1mm according to EXIF) that I avoided because the foxgloves were slightly higher in the frame. Will check whether there’s more headroom on that one. Or I could use the new expand canvas. Thanks
