Snow, sky, shadow and ..... pine

The intended look of this image is natural with just a bit of punch.

My points are:

  • snow to be white (of course!)
  • sky not to have too much of magenta
  • shadows not to have too much of magenta

Is quite easy to achieve that with Agx (preserve hue 50%), with Filmic it needs color equalizer to get rid of magenta.

But the difficoult one is the pine.
With Filmic pine needles are desaturated in a way that I like.
It’s barely noticeable in this side to side screenshot (Filmic on the left), but it’s quite obvious when swapping images.
