Round Reflection

I’ve messed around with image for a bit but haven’t landed on an edit I like yet. I’m curious to see how others would treat it.

Took a quick try but didn’t come up with much…maybe trying to draw that light further up the walkway??

Relative and Perceptual render… Perceptual has a little less shadow and contrast…

Thanks for the play!

I struggled with something pleasing to my eyes - ended up by re-framing into portrait orientation, which simplifies the dance my eyeballs make when compared with the original.

I did try adding some extra lighting to the walkway. I think drawing attention away from the trees (which have high detail/frequency) and the sky in the top is the challenging part

I liked the fall colours that @Jean-Mark_Digne injected into the scene, so I tried something similar. This is using RT dev-build 5.9-463-g1e7cedf3c (Nov 2023) with a combination of Color Toning (color correction regions) and Local Adjustments (Color & Light) tools. Straightened and cropped near to 1:1 as well. Thanks for the image, @nish!

I hope I didn’t ruin it with the tone equalizer, but I had to try to get that sky under control. dt 4.6
