[Leica] PESO - Bluebell wood

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

Hi Lluis,

thanks for looking and commenting.  When I processed this shot, I did 
alter the curve slightly and up the saturation and clarity a touch, but 
not excessively so (I hope) - perhaps emulating how the scene would look 
using a film like Velvia.  The print doesn't seem too contrasty to my eyes.

This is also using the Leica M8 camera profile in LR2, which does make 
things 'pop' a touch more than the standard profile.  Personally, I like 
this.

I guess it's down to personal taste.  I will have another look at the 
shot later on.

Thanks again for your feedback.


All the best,


Mark
