How Would You Edit This Landscape Photo?

[K-amps]

Fun project.... am here at work and only have LR4 to play with... Don't remember all the settings ... but here is my rendition:

Cropped bottom, Gradient in the sky, color bal, vignette, and bunch of HSL adjustments etc etc


Can send you snag it of the LR settings if you  like it.

Even I can do my first post here. This is my take. I used Camera Raw for basic conversion and then I used a lot of adjustment layers in Photoshop to convert it to b&w. I had to go back to CR sometimes to use the adjustment brush there. Hope you like it.

I've tried as well. It was mostly an attempt to normalize it, and then overdoing it slightly. This is the way I would've done it.

I did this at work with CS5.  Added a graduated filter to darken the sky, added some vibrance, clarity, tweaked the tone curve, and added a vignette.  Found a dust spot in the sky and cloned that out

I couldn't resist either

All done with CS5

I also quite like the crop of the scene too?!

Here's my take; tried to keep it as natural as possible with slight tint of my interpretation of sunrise colours and not an overdone sky, keeping the interest on the amazing rock formations.

Another black & white, but a bit more dramatic. Still, with details in all the black area.

Lightroom, 3 gradient filters, a few brush adjustments.
Since there is two major geological formations in the picture, the yellowish and the reddish with the strats, I think we need to emphasize that contrast.

And a color version, here, we need to feel the sun going up.

Doesn't seem as hot as it was last time I went there, but clearly this picture was not taken in summer.

Interesting to see all the different versions. Thanks for the opertunity.

Here is my take, done in LR4.

I used CS6, camera raw processing, little levels by color, little highlight curves.

I'd edit it to look like I remembered it.  You are  the only one who was there, and know what the colors and light was like, the rest of us just make something that we like, but it will likely be inaccurate.

Here's my rendition using Lightroom 4.3 and Nik Color Efex Pro 4. I darkened the sky and burned a little the foreground. I added a little bit of contrast and as well as saturation in the sky.
