Original Review
A strong composition balancing the sun on the left with the vertical trees on the right. The unique cloud pattern is the hero of this shot and should be highlighted through texture adjustments, while keeping the color grading natural but vibrant.
- Increase local contrast (Clarity) on the cloud formations
- Deepen blacks/shadows
- Boost Vibrance and warm saturation
The image has a pleasing sunset gradient and strong silhouette composition, with attractive layered clouds. Minor highlight recovery, selective shadow control, and localized sky contrast will improve tonal balance and clarity while preserving the intended warm, tranquil mood.
- Recover highlight detail around the sun by lowering Highlights (~-40 to -70) and Whites slightly (~-10 to -25), then use a subtle radial mask to tame the brightest core while keeping it luminous
- Lift midtone shadows selectively in the tree line/foreground with a luminance-range mask (Shadows +15 to +30) while keeping true blacks anchored (Blacks -5 to -15)
- Add local contrast and structure to the cloud bands using a graduated mask (Texture +10 to +20, Clarity +8 to +15, Dehaze +5 to +10)

Combined Improvements Applied:
- Increase local contrast (Clarity) on the cloud formations
- Deepen blacks/shadows
- Boost Vibrance and warm saturation
- Reduce highlights
- Recover highlight detail around the sun by lowering Highlights (~-40 to -70) and Whites slightly (~-10 to -25), then use a subtle radial mask to tame the brightest core while keeping it luminous
- Lift midtone shadows selectively in the tree line/foreground with a luminance-range mask (Shadows +15 to +30) while keeping true blacks anchored (Blacks -5 to -15)
- Add local contrast and structure to the cloud bands using a graduated mask (Texture +10 to +20, Clarity +8 to +15, Dehaze +5 to +10)
- Crop slightly from the left edge (and a touch from the bottom if needed) to remove the small dark intrusion and tighten composition around the sun and tall trees
- Apply mild output sharpening with masking (e.g., Amount 40–60, Radius 0.8–1.2, Masking 70–90) and slight noise reduction in the sky (Luminance NR 10–20)
