First Nightscape

You couldn't ask for a better composition.. Great lighting on the Mtn.

I played with it in LR, but no time to post image, need to run out shortly..
Try these settings
treatment panel
highlights -84
shadows +27 >>> play with that one till you like it.
whites +33
clarity + 11
vibrance +55

Post up another image once you get where you like it..

Thanks! I tried touching it up with the levels you suggested in LR. I liked the white clouds in my first one, though with your direction the foreground became better. Any tips on being able to combine the 2?

Heres the Edit.

In the tone cure I added +65 highlights +24 lights , to whiten clouds a bit more

The clouds definately add a bit of interest to the photo IMO.

I think you nailed it. I love that I can still see the orange of the trees in the middle of the night. Fantastic shot.
