Here’s my take on it. ART 1.18.1, Affinity Photo 2.1 beta
_CTW0005.NEF.arp (13.6 KB)
In ART
Used Tone Equalizer to bring up the shadows just a tad
Fairly gentle RL Deconvolution sharpening
Warmed up the WB just a little bit
Brought up chromaticity with L*a*b* Adjustments
Added slight local contrast of mostly finer details
Re-blued (de-cyaned) the sky after WB tweak and very slightly dropped the shadow / midtones in the sky (and reflected sky) only
Added a touch more saturation and contrast to the midground hill’s brown trees
Added a very subtle dark gradient to the bottom to tone down the reflections off the ice
Cropped to 16:9, straightened, etc.
In Affinity Photo
Painted in a little more exposure on the back (shadow) sides of the midground rocks and the background trees
High-pass sharpened the foreground only by using a gradient mask for the bottom ~1/3 of the image.
Inpainted-out a couple of color artifacts around the rocks and sticks in the lower left corner
Very nice image! I’ve never seen any water (almost including that coming out of the tap LOL!) in my area that approaches that clarity. Wow…

I love it in someway. When playing with this image today in the afternoon I almost got there after too much playing with it

After watching your XMP I found you rely on a LUT but I wonder if it would be replicable with color lookup table or something else …
Once the contrast and details job done maybe gimp would be a better tool for the job …
Indeed, I have used a LUT, it is my first time…
My intention was to make a black and white version.

While I was playing with this beautiful photo and was about to finish it, I remembered a trick that @difrkaguilar recently shared with me.
It’s a false color LUT to visualize the different exposure areas of an image and better compensate for highlights and shadows, but as soon as I turned it on, I liked how it looked and changed my plans.
If you are interested in the LUT, I have no problem sharing it.
The truth is that I do not master gimp.

A polarising filter helps of course, but yes, the water in the loch is extremely clear.
Here you have it…@difrkaguilar ,besides sharing the LUT’s… made a graph to put as a watermark (reference).
I would like to thank you again for your generosity

This really works, I love the squaring of the image, monochrome pallet, clarity & sharpness you’ve achieved. Though I think I would have liked to see the wateline treat as the horizon & leveled. really nice though.

I really like this image, did you invert the colours ? Has a Chinese/japanese art feel to it. I like that you’ve leveled the water. congrats on a really nice image,
