This was done using brightness/contrast adjustments, screen mode layers, curves, levels, color overlay for blue sky, lots of masking of various areas, some dodge and burn. I haven't made an SBS because I changed and deleted too many layers before I got an end result with which I was happy. (5 years and 805 days ago)
I see from your SBS a lot of work was done but I think the final image is too dark to appreciate the details (and I'm using a 27" high res monitor). You could brighten it up a bit and still maintain the drama.
Congrats SA.
Thanks.
Howdie stranger!
