Excellent light and comp. Super image well captured

[David Thomasson]

Beautifully balanced composition, and the light is incredible. How much post-processing -- and what kind -- went into this excellent image?

[Dave Mills]

Hi Fabs, Nice capture with beautiful lighting. I would take a bit off the top by the opening in the trees.

Thank you all!

David, I'm honored that you liked the p/p. Here's the RAW at default. By the looks of it, I probably added black and vibrance at conversion, then balanced the whites, if needed, in Nik Color Effex. If I did anything else I don't remember, just going by what I'd do now. D3 files don't need much tweaking.

Very impressive improvements, Fabs. Nice work!
