On our journey through Glencoe, the lighting was spectacular, and many people kept pulling off the road to stop and take photos. Despite many attempts, I never felt that I was able to capture the true magic of the lighting and scenery which had rays coming down from the sky. I tried by masking the section with the water and using some extreme settings of local contrast, but don’t think it has worked. Let’s see what others can do. The colours were quite muted.
I like the image and I found it rather challenging, to develop an interesting version. So, thanks for sharing the image
Not sure if I did any improvements. I’m looking forward to any creative ideas in the other edits.
Thanks, you have captured the rays and introduced less artefacts than I have. I think I probably needed to climb a hill to get a better view down with more of the water, but that wasn’t an option at the time.
My bland attempt. Going from your description that “the colors were muted”, I did not try to intensify or brighten them. Also, I’m sure that the background was actually very hazy, so I left that alone, too. I probably missed the mark on all of it.
Yes you have definetly captured the muted colours
It is the the dramatic rays coming down from the sky lighting up the water with a silvery sheen that seem difficult to portray!
Nice! You have managed to capture the rays coming down, so I will have a look at how you did that (perhaps without the rose tinted spectacles although I do quite like them)
