It was almost two years ago that I took this photo:
Taken on a drive along the Normandy Coast, this landscape still resides in my mind as one of the more beautiful places I have ever been. I pulled out this file yesterday and this morning created an interpretation of it:
I started with some basic edits that included straightening it a bit while I was cropping. I removed some dust spots with a combination of the erase and clone and stamp tools. I added the Luminar Look, Soft and Dreamy Faded. Within that look, which is applied at 100%, I made some adjustments to the filters. On a separate layer I then applied the Orton Effect filter and a vignette.
Your thoughts or questions about the edit are welcome below.
Cheers!

Dreamy indeed Any. We all need mental (or physical) images like these as we remain sequestered! Thanks for joining us this week

Thank you Jo, it was a bit windy that day, so maybe not ideal for a walk, but just so beautiful.

The edit really pops! I so miss sailing in that part of the world. Last sailed this coast in 2011. When do you think you will be returning Stateside and where will you be headed?

Thanks! We will be back sometime this summer I guess, that’s a little hard to say for sure. We will be back to the midwest.

Yes, the edited version has more pizzazz. Love the colors in the water and the details in the cliffs. The lighter green of the foreground vegetation helps too.
