Color editing Challenge with 60mpx DNG file


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

I am learning how to edit photos in lightroom and thought it might be fun to let forum members flex their skills.  I have uploaded the raw file from a photo I took recently with the Leica M11 and m 35 apo at 60mpx.  Attached is an exported file downscaled to 2.4mb for posting.

If you care to play, please modify the raw and add it to this post.  Forum members can vote with likes.  The edit with the most likes at the end of March wins?

You can download the raw file here:  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1n0R_vs-m7AhqUH0Gt-Z1Xp4T1-b0KFu7?usp=sharing

Here is what I have so far.  I like the colors but when you zoom in 100% the detail on the tree leaves look bad.  I think its due to messing with the tone curve.  If anyone has any tips on how to fix it so the leaves look cleaner please share.

Personally, I cant stomach the brush in the foreground on the right... too distracting.

Interesting that even at f8 the mountain seems sharper than the trees.  There may have been some wind, but at 1/125s ...

Anyone know how to edit the photo to make it look like this?

I actually don’t recall there being much wind.  Focus was at infinity (or just under it), so maybe that was it?  I was pretty far from the trees though
