…usted Low Light so there was less sharpening and more noise reduction. Photoshop for some distraction removal and a reverse Clarity Action on the TK8 panel to further soften the farthest trees, but used a black mask and a white brush to paint it where I wanted it and that kept the sharpness on the closest trees. It’s on a Vivid Light layer which I changed from Soft Light and reduced opacity to 63%.

Absolutely beautiful image. Well done. I do like the dodging suggestion mentioned earlier, but otherwise perfect!

thanks so much @Sarah_Jane_Laubscher - it was a special trip for sure and one I may just try to duplicate!
