I prefer this one; getting brtyter at this multilayer malarkey!

1. PL4
2. Aurora > Warm Landscape preset (50% strength)
3. Luminar AI for cloud replacement
4. Tidy up in PS

Very nice Martin but the water is draining out of the lake to the left.

I think you are right.s. But sometimes this is an optical illusion, especially if there is lakeside curvature - but I will look at this one again, I think there is a tad too much contrast.

Contrast is perfect Martin! It just needs straightening.

Try this as the apparent horizon:

Here's another way to analyze the problem. Anything and it's reflection in water should be on a plumb line. In this case, point A (where two mountain ridges intersect) and and its reflection, point B, should be plumb.

Thanks guys; this is why this is such a good instructive thread

I think I prefer this version. The only workflow difference is that I used SNS for the tone mapping step

1. Straight ot of SNS

2. Sky replacement with Luminar AI

Take it one step further now and mirror the sky so the correct clouds show in the water reflection.

Anyone else want to enter an edit? One more day.

Okay no more edits so I'm calling this one for Martin's very good and deserving edit of the mountain lake, which is now holding it's water.

Congrats and it's all yours Martin!

Thanks Mark, I'll find something to upload soon

Post Processing Game

Pretty simple idea

I post a picture, and everyone downloads it, plays around with it and then posts their version of it. After a week or so, I come in, choose the one I like best, and that person posts their own photo. We spend the next week playing with theirs, and then they choose a winner. Repeat ad nauseum.

A few rules...

When you post a photo, leave it as it was straight out of camera.

And don't go overboard with the editing. So no adding in sharks jumping out of the water for extra coolness. The idea is to finish the photo, not to edit it so much that it's unrecognizable.

=======

You have 3 RAWs this week.

1. From Photoretouchingservice​s

Not playing just practicing - I leave for a month long trip in a few days so no point in trying to play.
