Hi everyone ! Hope you had a great summer!
I was looking back through some of the journals that have been posted to the group and realized we haven't had a post-processing challenge in quite some time. I recently came back from a business trip in California and was fortunate enough to have some spare time to drive around and see the sights. One of those sights was a very famous shipwreck that is photographed quite often. For this challenge, I present you with three exposures of this landmark. Below are the links to three exposures in DNG format.

If you don't mind, I would appreciate if you could shed a little light on your workflow as well. If you don't want to give up your secrets, that is fine too. I look forward to seeing what you can do!

This was a lot of fun, here is my shot at it. I used the darker first image. I'll try to explain my work flow a bit but it's kinda all over the place haha. I started by messing around with the lighting and focused in on one area. After that I messed with the basic sliders in lightroom and touched up the white balance in certain areas. To make the colors more appealing I then boosted the blues in the tone curve. Somewhere in the middle (i think before the tone curve) I went back and turned it to black and white. The only thing I did after that was boost the contrast and made the yellows brighter and blues darker. Thanks for letting me play with this shot! Beautiful image
