[Play Raw] .. Shooting Into the Sun

Thank you @davidvj for the super interesting material / image. Seems pips have taken quite different approaches, which is IMO always enriching. I personally went the route of {instant combustion neuron tree} @Thanatomanic but less dreamy / soft. It’s a bit of a dark approach, subdued… like if that mountain had some … secrets, don’t know, probably it’s just echoing my plans for murdering my neighbours :hocho: :red_circle: Maybe I’ve got the Sunday’s Illness

Then G’mic within Gimp. Only unusual step was constraint sharpen from Iain (link below), quite nice filter, reminds me of Jimmy Mcyntyre’s action for PS. Aurora, LCE, DRInc, CSharp, GinTonic, my own LUT ( for personal REF: split chroma and luma and turned down V4) and grain, in aurora I “had” to recur to luma mask, else all mixing opacities and blend modes.

 
Cheers :palm_tree:

 

Note regarding size
Normally I don’t post full-size proofs, but as I went through all the hassle (gmic was stoic, diligent and agnostic as always but gimp absolutely shit its pants… ha ha ha, no; it was sad) of a full-size 32bit workflow… well
