Holliday snap challenge

Done with LightZone 2beta:

Trying to maintain, even enhance, the Magical Kingdom touch. Most obvious is the change in colour and saturation of the foreground; the mist in the middle has been boosted, the sky and mountain-tops lightened, as was the boat. The mountain's centre has been darkened to get a little bit of detail and perspective into the image.

Slight sharpening of the foreground.

Whats so remarkable, is that each version is in itself workable as a print. Yet each is so different. I am surpised and pleased what a useful tool Lightzone is in your hands Dierk.

Pity we didn't set a no cropping policy or these could all be layered and then that would be interesting to pick and choose mountains and mist from each!

When we get some more, we'll prepare a composite so we can see them in a block of pictures side by side.

Thank you Don.
It is a labour of love (frustrating at times).
But this is how you learn! Next time it will be much easier. But learning how to use masks instead of eraser will be a quantum leap - you clearly have the vision, your latest attempt is one of the best here imo.

Sorry for not answering sooner; I am just very busy with my work. I am very pleased you like my latest version; I could not have done it without your advice. I will try and apply your masking technique to my image as soon as work allows.
Kind regards
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

Please give me the url's of the pictures that no longer appear! Then I will restore the broken links!
