Snowline and sky... glacial meltwater

Very nice image, this is what I made out of it:


2009-04-04 at 12-30-44.CR2.xmp (13.4 KB, dt3.1)
And this is how it was done:

  • check for sensor clipping
  • Increase exposure below sky
  • Denoise and sharpen
  • Haze removal
  • Dithering for later export
  • Vibrance
  • Velvia
  • Color zones: intense green and yellow
  • Local contrast to increase details
  • filmic
  • White balance
  • Contrast increase in the green/brown field and in the hills
  • Vignette correction in a unusual method (did not found a preset in lens correction for that specific lens)

Usually I got a different workflow starting with presets for most of the modules. But since they only work for my camera/lenses and I wanted to show what I am doing I did not use a specific order here.
