My attempt at finding stillness and silence by editing a high contrast, noisier version of this image. I played around with color grading and other Lightroom tools to achieve this slightly muted, twilight scene. I love that there is still a hint of pink in the clouds and a warm glow from the church and houses on the hill. I think I could sleep very peacefully in this hillside Italian village.
