Devils Golf Course Blake with Light Beams

@jyokota requested I post the different versions of this shot. This is the final version after flipping it so it reads left to right, cropping and cloning out 2nd photographer as per Blake Rudis' critique, and adding light rays. In my extras folder for 13November2020 you can see the flipped original black and white that I posted for Blake's critique. And in my 13November2020 flower folder you can see the original shot in 2013. Thanks for your interest.

Thanks, Jane! I always like studying different versions and how processing makes a difference in how photos feel to the viewer.

Wonderful! I love those rays of light by the photographer.

Nice to see the progression and the natural look to your edit is awesome.

Yes, @elatedpixie — those light beams! Younger daughter refers to the clouds as “Jesus clouds”—

@granagringa Blake Rudis is an incredible post processing teacher. His web site is F 64 academy. He has fabulous courses available and if you are a member of f 64 ($19/month) you get to submit photos for his critique sessions and even if yours aren’t chosen watching the videos of the 24 that are chosen each month is awesome and very very helpful
