Learning to live - Wildcat Canyon Regional Park

This is a shot from a photowalk in Wildcat Canyon Regional Park with my friends Jeremy, Skip and Olivia. I actually don’t have any memories at all of making this shot.

I used a Lightrrom preset called Twisty Fries for the post-processing. The preset greatly increases both the blacks and the fill light. The constrast is also increased using the tone curves. Also, the hue for the red and the orange is increased but the saturation is decreased. A purple tint is applied to balance the changes in both the hue and the saturation. To bring forward the green, the vibrance is increased. No vignette has been added, but I made a small crop. In the end, I think the result is fairly good.
