Hello @Bill_Fach, many thanks for the many kudos!
I certainly do take it as a high compliment to have one of my images compared to that of Tony Kuyper. I use his panel nearly every time I’m post-processing and have a great deal of respect for him and his photography! I had not seen his Badlands images, in particular, but after you mentioned it, I checked them out and see what you mean, with regard to the color and vibrancy. It’s good to know I’m not alone in my saturation tendencies, as Tony seems to take those liberties, but it works for him. Though, I’m working to dial it back to a more balanced level, myself.
I appreciate you jumping into this discussion to share this initial impression of yours. It’s well received!
Cheers!
