Sun over Lochalsh Tweaked

Many thanks to black_cat_merlin who kindly let me do a bit of PP on one of his excellent shots.

 

I commented that it may need a bit of rotation and colour tweaks, and here's what I was talking about! I was just looking for subtle changes.

 

From this shot I did the following in GIMP:

* Rotated 0.75degrees clockwise

* Cropped from position 14x20 to a size of 2980x1960 (remove the edges after rotate)

* Did a Colour Enhance (Colours -> Auto -> Colour Enhance)

 

I played with Tone Mapping in GIMP to bring out a bit more in the clouds, but it really exaggerated some JPEG artefacts in the silhouette of the hills on the horizon and the grass in the foreground. I suppose I could have just applied Tone Mapping to the sky and the water using selections and layering .

 

Thanks again black_cat_merlin!
