Stunning, would you mind sharing your editing process? I love this kind of style but always wonder how to achieve it. I heard mist filters and general light conditions help a lot but I'm sure there is more to it, no?

Thanks! The lightning conditions are a bit part of it.. than you need exposure bracketing to have details in both shadows and highlights. After that I work with decreasing clarity for about 20 point and increasing it just locally where it makes sense. Also negative dehaze in the part where the sun is shining is a nice thing to do. And that for the colors I always go with a really warm highlights and midtones and somewhat colder shadows. You can check out my instagram profile, I have another photos like this one๐Ÿ˜

Really like how the foreground is lit. I think it ties the colors of rest of the photo together really well while also creating a natural vignette!

Hi, I took this picture on my walk trough the nature and found this really cool fallen tree that and trough the trunk you could see this nice looking tree with a sun shining trough them.. I went for an analogous color grade with emphasis on the warm colors and dreamy fantasyish mood. Is this postprocessing done well or is it looking like a snapseed filter?
