a couple more for fun 

I like the B & W. It has a lot of power to bring out the starkness. And I especially like the bluish cast over it. That's something I would have done had I thought of it. Should be simple in SilverEfex Pro.

Now for the "artistic" psychedelic interpretation

What I like here is that intensity of color seems to begin erasing the line between earth and sky. Not entirely, but it makes that demarcation less certain -- almost like a mind altering experience. Disclaimer: I know nothing about art and less about drugs!

+1.  I like very much.  Could you discuss your technique for this style of print?

So I've never been one for the "vomit of colors everywhere" look, or the weird crops, but since this isn't my own image that I'm editing, I figured why not do something different? After messing around with the grad nd on the sky for a while, I just had to stick with the purple. Cheers.

Hi guys! i'm New! Awesome tread. Great image! love these kind of treads..



here's my take. Ended up a bit red-ish. LR4 all the way. (if it was mine i might have swapped the sky in PS:)


And a LR preset with all the settings-
