I’ve long considered this one of my favorite images, and after many months of learning a lot about post work I wanted to take a stab at re-editing this. I’m much happier with this version – it has a lot less of that ‘HDR tone compression’ look to it since this was done using manual layer-merging in Photoshop and color/clarity tweaking per-layer in Lightroom.
