Hey Ross,
that's another stunner. I'm very much amazed by how well you always handle your lighting and colors in post. I'm fairly certain that, despite being at the right places at the right time, you spend quite a bit of time processing your images, yet they don't feel that way, they look very natural. This one also screams perfection.
For me sometimes I can get it right too, at least on a level that's satisfying to myself, other times, I just can't do it. Do you share your knowledge in any way, like in online courses or tutorials?

Rolf, your comment means a lot to me, thank you for expressing that!
For years I felt frustrated by post-processing, but everything started to change for me once I began using Lightroom about a dozen years ago. I always hated Photoshop, but LR immediately felt intuitive. From there I began to experiment a lot in development and making test prints, and my vision and quality of PP work improved after I worked through Michael Frye’s Lightroom ebook and tutorials. He’s my favorite American landscape photographer, a true artist who manages to preserve a natural feel to his images and avoid the over-processed look, even though a lot of work goes into getting his RAW files to sing. So he is who I often recommend to people if that natural style appeals: https://www.michaelfrye.com

Thanks a lot, Ross, I'll check him out. I also use Lightroom mostly, but by now, Camera Raw is pretty much a copy of Lightroom, if you ask me, so except for the database that comes with LR, it's pretty much the same.
However, it think a couple of years back, Camera Raw was much less powerful.
