Thanks everyone! Great to see all sort of different takes on this photo. A few observations:
- I’ve noticed most of you have increased the overall brightness quite a lot, a bit too much considering the actual time of the day this photo has been taken. My final version is much darker overall because that’s what I remember.
- I have only loaded the xmp to Darktable for a couple of your takes and noticed you haven’t bothered about noise reduction. I suppose it’s because we can only compare and assess the overall colors from the smaller jpeg we’re sharing on here. That’s ok of course but I have realized that maybe I shouldn’t obsess too much about noise at 100% if my usual prints are very rarely up to A4 size.
- I particularly like how @anon41087856 and @agriggio have rendered the sky. I’m trying to learn how to use the new color balance in DT to try and reproduce what he’s done (Aurelien; Alberto doesn’t use DT so how he got that lovely sky is not something I’ll be able to “study”).
- so many good renditions now that I scroll back up! I like the b/w version too, that was a bold decision considering all the nice colors waiting to be pulled out.
- another bold version: the hazed one by @afre! I liked that. Wouldn’t know how to reproduce it on DT though, but that’s not probably my idea of processing (I mean radically changing the environment).
