Workshop Note
Increased contrast, in this case, helps the photo to look more realistic and brings out the contrasts of the valley. Since the sky is somewhat bright, we must decrease the brightness after increasing the contrast so that the sky does not become too bright. Framing the picture using black and a color matching the color of the sky helps to balance out the lack of light blue color at the bottom of the photo. I also added a hint of sharpening, although a better focus would have been ideal. What do you think?
