Another Dallas Divide Image (reprocessed)

Late afternoon light and clouds moving.
I reprocessed this image using raw files with different exposures and blended in photoshop making a better over-all image, with good tones in the sky and much better color in the scrub oak and aspen.

Nice drama in the skies over the divide. I like the late fall colors.

A dramatic photo with a beautifully colored autumn foreground, dominated by prominent mountains in the background. Very nice, Larry!

This is very nice Larry, I like those clouds. The colors feel a bit more muted then normal though, was that a purposeful choice?

Thanks Jim; the colors were very dark, almost black, in the raw file. I tried to pull the colors out and they got very noisy, so I did leave the colors muted. I have a second file with a better exposure for the colors in the foreground. I plan to reprocess the image by blending the 2 files in Photoshop. I will post the results here as a reprocessed image!
