Great to see how much work you put into your images, Dave. Certainly much more in-depth than I go and some pointers on how I can improve my images.

Some really interesting approaches here Dave - looks like it gives you a lot of control. Great image too. I know what you mean about editing videos getting long, I'm the same!

Hi Dave, interesting approach knocking all the saturation down to zero, might have a play with that. You can see the great results of all the work you have put in to the final edit. Thank you for sharing.

Been an age since I visited Blea Tarn Dave - beautiful image and really interesting to see part of your process - I'm no expert in PS for sure - the majority of edits I make in LR using PS for Dodging and Burning , Levels and Curves. I play around with the HSL sliders in LR but never done it this way which logically seems a sensible place to start !! All the best mate :)
