Taiwan green forest landscape.

Captured this while hiking around Alishan Nation Park. We had beautiful foggy weather. I’d love to see your edits.

No real edit on my part here. I just selected the relevant darktable camera style that is loaded in DT 4.9 and will be available in the DT 5.0 release. It gives a nice starting point to the image.

What a beautiful image. My treatment with Art 1.24.1

Thanks for the edit. It’s quite cool how little work is needed to be done using sigmoid in darktable.

V2, Art1.24.1

I really like the color contrast you got between the green grass and orange leaves. I will check out your xmp later!

Filmic RGB crushed a lot of details to black, so I used Sigmoid and skewed it toward the highlights.

Faked an HDR to bring out the shadow details. Lot’s of cool G’MIC presets used for that. :slight_smile:

So for this second attempt instead of using the provided style in DT I decided to do an edit from scratch.

I like how you emphasized the patch of light in the center by dodging and burning

A variation of my first edit:

Have to admit, the lomography effect (vignetting) is the way to go for this capture. Really liking those results. :slight_smile:
