This video sequence just show the potential we have using the RAW file format when photographing.

RAW format are almost a necessity if you do any kind of processing of your images. The amount of information stored in RAW gives you almost endless possibilities when working in any kind of image processing program.

When I was processing this image I was able to pull out information even in those darker area, of course with some noise, but still, it’s an ok image.

As you can see, I also cleaned the water surface to make the reflection pop just a bit more. The reeds just became a distraction in this image. Just left a few in the middle of the image to keep the connection with the area.

Done some dodging and burning to bring out a bit of depth in the image, but tried to keep that vert gentle.
