Three brothers along the Merced

[dan swiger]

I can give credit to my BIL for finding this in plain site.
Had to wait a bit for the light, but it was worth it.
I left the contrails at right of the peaks as it seemed to "work"
My only regret is not planning on the chromatic abberation on the trees.
Any suggestions for taming this are appreciated.

Updated exposure

Nice clean viewpoint for this alignment of the peaks and the river below.

Topaz Denoise AI can do a pretty good job with the chromatic noise in tree branches.

Hey Dan!

What a great scene you got there. Love the snow on the banks.

Use ACR to correct the CA, it does a great job.

Also, one suggestion. With reflections being an almost 2 stop difference from the sky, it can cause the sky to be too bright. In your image, it looks like you exposed for the reflection, so now the sky, the 3 brothers feel right on the edge of blowing out. Use some Highlight Recovery to make the sky look more like the reflection.

Beautiful image especially the reflection
