This is one of the single shots I got of Dalbrack Bridge when I was doing some HDR bracketing from another viewpoint. The jpg is converted straight from RAW.

I have a DNG of the original RAW, but it was too big for UHH, so I tried lossy compression in the conversion to DNG. So there is a choice - a 13.8MB JPG or an 11.1MB compressed DNG. I haven't a clue which will give the best starting point for editing, so I'd be very interested in feedback on that subject. Jpg here, DNG to follow.

PS - The sky isn't blown. I checked. And to anybody who's interested, the compressed DNG is less than half the size of the non-compressed DNG (11.1 MB v 24.2 MB).

Used the DNG and CS6. Increase contrast in clouds and foreground. Added a little warmth to the photo and changed the perspective slightly

I'm always amazed at how much detail can be brought out from a sky that looks almost blown. Making the sky dark seems to be a good answer to the blue fringing you get when twigs and foliage are viewed against a bright sky. And you've managed to make it pleasantly warmer. Thanks for your contribution, Artar.
