Good morning Adam, I am curious if you could upload the original without any processing at all. Right now it looks over sharpened and needs help in the exposure/shadows.

Too much processing in the sky. The tone is very blotchy and there is a significant halo around the central tree.

Here is my two cents. I saw the prior posting. I thought at the time the full dynamic range was not captured. I believe this is probably a case where High Dynamic Range (HDR) would have been very useful.
IF the necessary "other" photos are not available for HDR THEN,
I would probably try to recover this photo by either making it a B&W silhouette with maybe the black area having some texture OR,
I would try making a pseudo HDR by making two copies of the original, underexposing one copy and over exposing the second copy by 2 steps. Using the original and these two copies I would then evaluate the HDR process results for either further, gentile light room processing either in color or B&W.
Depending on how much time you want to invest in salvaging this photo the process could be repeated using different settings.
Good luck and enjoy the learning process.

My biggest problem when shooting thus was the light I should have waited about 10 mins the light would have been much better there probably would have been sun on the main subject like they say "good things come to those who wait"

I don't think I can upload the original here unless it is one of the exceptions then I will so if the moderator can weigh in now if he or she says I can then I will

You can upload the original just not on this thread. Upload it either in this section or the gallery in a thread of it's own then link to it from here.

To me it looks more like an oil painting than a photo. Not sure that's a compliment.

It's a compliment photography is about art 🎨 that's what believe anyway

This looks like the perfect example of needing two images with one exposed for the trees and the other for the sky. Then you could bring them into Photoshop and put together for a great photo. Maybe you want to shoot this scene again? Unfortunately I don't believe I can save this image. Maybe someone else who has more experience with underexposed images. Sorry Adam.

I am sorry only one image per thread. You may post it in another thread and link to it here. May I suggest that you post it in post processing and see what ideas they can come up with to help you with this.

Sorry I misunderstood your earlier reply now that I looked back I see that it was completely my fault with that being said I didn't know that there was a post processing section
