First off thank you @McCap for the raw and the sharing experience =) and all people participating and contributing

This image was so interesting and it has taken me so many “approaches” to come to peace with what I was seeing. At the beggining my first re-action was to make it as beutiful as possible… {buzz} WRONG! Then I went on a light savaging journey {sinking} glub glub
Finally I gave up and I only played around with it in photoflow to test bugs and make arguments for controversial disscusions… I know what a low life, he he. But who knew, when all is lost…
In the meantime I had being editing and grading a film, so resumed my love for tinkering with colour, also was a good excuse for cleaning up and organizing my LUT’s cage. So with no expectations, with no objective in mind I played around a little more; enough to come to realize that (for me) this was a postcard, an image of a place I’ll probably never visit but yet somehow made it into my dull existence… like a postcard a friend would send me from an exotic corner of the earth. The resulting couple of images were a mixdown result of all this blabing =)
A more dramatic one, the someone lost a leg on the rice fields and gods just don’t care kind
A strange yet pleasent enough darkish mix (a pastel snapshot of a possible Apocalypse Now {one the greatest films ever made, linked with a great docu, a great book by Munch - blink - and of course London’s The Heart of Darkness} location) of a couple old home-brewed LUTs
