Comment by Tammster:
This... is just really cool, and it doesn't look like you spent hours editing. It just looks natural (other than the desat).

A few general comments:
-What is SEP-2?
-I'm curious as to why you DeNoised twice.
-Do you have Topaz detail? I use it on shots like this, just to bring out a little more of the details in the trees & bricks. If you don't have it, maybe get a trial (or watch a video on youtube.. just search for it).

Really cool place.

Comment by Tammster:
I think this one is a wow shot, but I'm concerned that the lighting might be too different on monitors. Like I said, on one of my monitors it just doesn't look right at all (it's not calibrated & is a cheap monitor to begin with).

So, I actually think you're safer with the other.
