This is from my trip to Peru last year. It’s Machu Picchu seen from the top of Huayna Picchu, the mountain you always see on the typical photo of the city.
Had a go at this with the filmic module and a few tweaks to get rid of the blue compression in the mountains in the background, some sharpening using the equalizer and a few tweaks to the saturation using the tone curve, LAB mode and a parametric mask.
Compared to your first foray into Play Raw, this one is more deliberate and sophisticated. In particular, I enjoyed what you did with the shadows and textures.
Haven’t thought about that, but maybe it’s related to the partial dehazing, where I applied it stronger to the foreground in order to make it pop from the background. The way I did it, however, is confusing and there’s certainly simpler ways to achieve the same result.
