Default Natural or Edited
Hello, I have a cool perspective looking up a steep hill at some trees with some really interesting clouds. One is natural - just minor tweaks in the raw conversion. The other one I added a high pass layer and a darken layer that really seemed to make the clouds pop. Which one do you think looks better (or can you even tell a difference at all?)

Thanks

Yes, the difference can be seen. I personally like the original better.

I would have to agree with Lori. I also like the original better.

Thank you all for the feedback. If you don't mind me asking, what is it about #1 that makes it the favoriate?
