 The image was processed in Adobe Lightroom with a clean, natural workflow. I started by setting white balance and dialing in the basic exposure and contrast for a balanced tonal range. Highlights and shadows were refined to recover detail, then texture and clarity were applied selectively to enhance crispness without over-processing. Color was fine-tuned using HSL and subtle color grading to harmonize the warm tones. Finally, local masks were used to guide attention to the subject, with light sharpening and noise reduction for a polished finish.
