I have let this one rest for a while, but now decided to update it based on the comments given by @Ed_McGuirk. But I decided to take the image to the complete opposite side of contrast and saturation compared to the original one!

ORIGINAL POSTING
We do not see that many ICM images posted. I think ICM is fun and creative and will post a few images of this type.
This first image show birch tree trunks situated in an autumn meadow.

I agree, and look forward to seeing what you come up with Ola. I do some ICM’s myself, and one of the things I think is common with them is for the raw file to lose some contrast and color as a result of the ICM technique. As a result the image you have posted here looks kind of flat. I brought it into photoshop, and noticed that in Levels there was a lot of room to the right of the histogram. To add contrast, I simply pulled in the right slider in levels, and made more use of the full tonal range. To me this makes the image more vibrant and colorful.
@Ed_McGuirk, thanks for your comment and recommendation. I have now updated the image, but making the change very much more dramatic!
