Another one from my trip to Western Australia. Murchison River has some very attractive landscapes to offer along its stretch. This is just outside the town of Kalbarri.
I found this a difficult image to process. The low but intense sunlight combined with the use of a circular polariser resulted in a very high dynamic range, with deep dark shadows in the vegetation and bright lights in the clouds and well lit subjects. Any suggestions for improvement are very welcome!
D7000, Nikkor 16-85 @16mm, Hoya circular polariser, handheld, ISO-400, f/14, 1/60 sec.
ACR6.3/CS5. Sharpness, clarity, levels, slight S-curve adjustment, S/H to open up the shadows. Selective brightening of a dark circular patch in the blue of the sky (as a result of the polariser?), cloned out some dust specs.
