The video is easy to follow. Although for your photo in the OP, if you can share a crop of the tree on the right side showing the trunk to the far right end of the branches, that would be more streamlined. Or even the outer half of the right side tree's outer branches. It would be informative to see the result of 30 seconds in the flexible part of the subject .. Thank you.
Sure thing. Sorry about the delay. I have been digging myself out of a very deep hole of post processing gallery work for others and have had no time yet. I’ll get to it ASAP! ✌🏼

Mark, I love most of your images, but this one takes it to another level. The composition just pulls you into the scene; I love the multiple layers of coast visible in the background. Obviously, the light and colors are phenomenal. Simply masterful. Voted, of course.

32bit, says it all. Outstanding capture and processed.
Heck yes! 32-bit Raw Layers is a game changer 👍🏻 ⭐️ 🥇 for post processing quality in so many ways! If you want more info, simply email me. I’m making a FREE video to help people understand what that means and why it is so awesome! The future in Now! Thank you for the encouragement! 🙏

Who needs a high MP camera 
How much time is involved in PP to increase a low res image to high res?
Thank you! It really depends on the level of quality you want as well as the initial cleanliness of the file. BY FAR the most important thing (much more than megapixels) is the native cleanliness of the file. I’d take a pulled LOW ISO shot (ISO Expansion Low - no noise at all) with a great f/stop over a ton a megapixels any day to make a huge gallery print. I'm currently doing a 60-80” print off of only 5MP right now that might end up being in my Youtube studio. I shot it in like 2005 with the Canon 10D! And it is slightly cropped! Fortunately it is clean and a good f-stop.
When going for world class quality, depending on the initial file, I can spend 2 - 4 hours on an image, or days! Clients often get something like an 80”, 72”, 60”, 45” 36”, 24” (all the main sizes) in about 4 hours give or take an hour. Rarely will a client allow me days! So we set limits on it.
But with my own work, I can easily spend several days or more if I am truly going for a “Master Print” (can not be improved in any way). I've spent a week on an image before, especially when it comes to the profiling, cleaning up, sizing and sharpening, texture enhancements, proprietary techniques, and so forth. It is not a push button approach.

Still waiting to see a 100% crop section of the tree, limbs and foliage on the right side.
Each part of the image is a chapter of the story.
I’ll get to it asap. Sorry about the delay. ✌🏼

I'm sure this was a pain to edit, but the results speak themselves. Love the water movement contrasting with the sky
Thank you so very much. I appreciate the gracious compliment. Actually no pain at all. The opposite. A blast! 😀 To me it is a real joy/privilege to work on an image like this when things come together so nicely. 🙏

Beautiful image! Is this in jeep only territory or a long hike from the road? Just beautiful and would love to travel the coast from the SF bay area to capture it. Just really amazing image you have here! Congrats!
HUGE thank you! I will say it is quite dangerous and you have to scramble around extremely sheer cliffs. A lot of people would not do it. It helps that I was raised by a mountaineer/mountain guide. 😀
