#ECK #PostProcess #Reveal Original 📷: @rjrock.bsky.social See alt-text for summary of Lightroom edits. For this challenge, I wanted to focus on the distant peaks. I also adjusted the colors to emphasize the green and blue tones.
Jagged mountains shrouded in fog.

For this challenge, I cropped the image to isolate the mountains and fog and I eliminated much of the foreground. I adjusted the color grade wheels to emphasize the green and blue tones. I added radial gradient mask to slightly brighten and increase clarity of distant mountains.

Flamingos are not pink. They are born with grey feathers, which gradually turn pink in the wild because of a dye called canthaxanthin obtained from their diet of brine shrimp and blue-green algae. This is a baby flamingo. Original post

I'll have new Iceland work to share over the next few weeks - here's something to kick things off. I'm not sure which I like more: waterfalls or sunset skies. Once in a while, I don't have to choose! #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography
