Revisiting an image (Alex Mody)

Hey everybody,

I'm in the process of going through all of my photos from the gigantic road-trip I took this past fall/winter. I came across this image from November, which I took in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument of Utah.

I had processed one from the road but I was just never happy with how it looked. The initial version, in my opinion was too warm. Also, the sky is too dark, and I think that I did a bad job handling the foreground.

This is the initial version.



This is the newly processed version.



I don't have much of a point here, other than saying that it's always worth it to try processing an image twice. Maybe you might even prefer the first one. Regardless, giving an image you're unsatisfied with a second glance is a good idea. The most you have to lose is a few minutes of your time.
