This is not any great photo for sure, but just working a bit with burn, dodge, etc. to correct an IR (or, for that matter a b/W) without good dynamic range. I knew that the lower 1/3 of the photo was not good and that the sky almost merged with the mountains. I've done a some work here, not a huge amount, but burned in the foreground grass (actually was doing it selectively and then decided to select, add as new layer and do blend mode burn. I also selected the sky and brightened. Do you think this is sufficient to help this hold together better??--any suggestions please. Not to 'save' this pic, but just to learn from a pro a bit more. Doing 3D, esp, Bryce with added Posers, I didn't often do this type of post work to it (though I've always done post). Thanks for your comments in advance. HOpe you are having a wonderful vacation and its not the gloomy weather as here--altho' we'll take the rain (1.3 inches late afernoon yesterday and we're in drought)also the quite cool for this time of year--71 degrees.
