This one is mostly dodging and burning to make it more dramatic. I did saturate the sky alot more and it still wasn't the blue I wanted so in layers I put a cooling filter on and removed it from the rest of the shot. Other than that it is just work with all the highlights and shadows.
You make it look as if you have a "one button" image processor that is able to turn out one captivating image after another. I know that it takes time and effort to produce images this nice, and I appreciate that you share them with us. It is always a pleasure to see an image here with ivory under it.
Wow, this is just amazing. The light streaming from the right side reminds me of the old phrase my grandma used to call it - "the fingers of God". And I love the little bright white spots which I am guessing are probably birds.
You make the everyday seem magical! I think you need to take one of these 30 day shots and do a tutorial on your processing - it would really be helpful to those of us who only do levels, curves, sharpen, save.
