Nice job! A lot of fun. I must tell you though, I like the one without the shadows so heavily lifted.

I have for many years lifted too much shadow in post. Even with all that incredible DR w MF, I try to resist the temptation to lift the shadows too much.

It can mess with the dimensionality, pop, contrast and appeal of an image.

But, when you need to lift do so. Your choice. Part of the art right? 😀

Thanks!

Yep, it's all a matter of taste. TBH I would normally spend a lot more than the 3 minutes I did post-processing this one - and probably do several variants and print them, then leave them for a few days before looking again. Not personally a fan of the HDR 'look', normally prefer something a bit more subtle - hence why I still use grads usually.

The camera is not your tool. The light is.
