I didn't find it being unsharp. I do see vignetting in the sky in the upper left and right corners. But that's probably because no center filter was used, an aesthetic effect some people like. It looks like he used a GND filter.Quote:

The colours are fabulousQuote:

A good place to start is to use either the levels adjustment in Photoshop. If you hold the ALT key while clicking the auto button, it will bring up a submenu where you can choose the algorithm. "Enhance Per Channel Contrast" is the same is if you were to set the levels for each RGB channel. You can set the amount of clipping for highlights and shadows respectively. "Snap Neutral Midtones" helps remove color casts in the mids. From there I set the gamma with the mids slider in the same levels adjustment layer. This gets you to the first image below. I then use the Color Balance adjustment layer to further dial it in. Finish with a curves adjustment gets you to the second image below. The rest is done with more selective curves layers and a plugin called "Lumenzia". This plugin allows you to dodge/burn specific tonal ranges.

Seems complicated which is why I stick with chromes. But you did a nice job.Quote:

It's really not once you get used to it. Luminosity masking in particular (the process Lumenzia uses) is very powerful; I use it a lot for editing all types of files, not just colour neg.Quote:

Beautiful darr.
Love the light and shadows and the highlights on the clouds coming through the trees.
