I shot this one 2 weeks ago, in het Mastbos. At first i really didn’t feel the image, suddenly today i thought it was alright and did a quick edit with darktable. Now i’m curious what you can make of it.

I love to wander the woods in the morning. All sorts of light like this; nice capture.
A scene like this provides its own vignette. I just used a filmic curve to push the shadows down and lift the light. Highlight recovery, because the parts outside the shade usually blow.
I threw a saved style on which I knew I had pushed saturation.
Originally the saved style was for indoor karting at night, but I think works quite nicely bringing out the golden light.

I’ve tried to express the feeling I have in such situations: the high contrast between light and dark areas, and the dreamy effect of the beams of light.
A really nice shot, thanks for sharing!
Very nice shot indeed! As the others, I tried to emphasize the contrast between the light rays and the forest. However, both global and local contrast do not cut it in my opinion, hence I used a drawn mask to reduce the brightness in the corners and draw the eye towards the center.

mmmh that does work very well.
Nice one, Kees! Thanks for sharing it.
A very beautiful image which I have no doubt spoilt!
Done in GIMP, using a luminosity plugin to adjust brightness and saturation in various areas. Followed by slight sharpening with wavelet decompose.
well quite challenging to edit it, and this is the first comes to mind… (IMG_0779.CR2.xmp 12.6 KB)

Beautiful photo
I didn’t like any of the edits I did in colour so I tried for Black and white.
After selecting the preset (18) in Silver Effects, I added a slight blue tint to make it more Silver looking.
Nice edit… what role does saturation play in Haze removal? The control is seen in dev, but not in 5.8
