On my way to Crater Lake yesterday I stopped at the Natural Bridge recreation area where I shot this picture of the Rogue River. This one was a challenge in post processing due to the differential lighting. I started by adjusting the blue luminence in Lightroom which I have learned can sometimes save a blown out sky. It worked well in this case. Then I added a layer in photoshop and dodged in the shadow areas to open up the bottom part of the river and its banks. I then took it into Nik CEP where the detail extractor helped to further open up the water and lower river banks. I added a brilliance warmth filter but toned it down a bit. Finally a darken/lighten center filter to further open up the river below the small falls. I tried it with a border but decided against it. I think this would make a nice gallery wrap.
