Welcome to Pentax Forums Post Processing Challenge 135!!
Thank you Dunerunner for hosting the previous challenge. I truly enjoyed the opportunity to process your image and hope everyone will enjoy the image(s) I have selected for this round.

This an image of Cathedral Rock taken from Crescent Moon Ranch Picnic Area. When I shot the image(s) I was mindful of the exposure issues with the shadows and highlights and therefore shot a 3-bracket exposure. I am providing the three brackets in DNG and JPG for your use. You may use any single exposure or combination at your discretion.

I think there might be a football game or something on February 1 that some of you may be watching and I don't plan on being on the forum at midnight to close the competition, so this competition will close when I wake up Monday February 2, Arizona Time. If you are a procrastinator, this might be a two part challenge!

I am looking forward to everyone's entry. Good Luck and let the Challenge begin!

Here are a couple of takes I have on this wonderful image.

[Caver]

Very nice image to start with. I decided to work from a single file (A).
SilkyPix Developer Studio Pro 6 + final touches in Photoshop.

Cropping is not a problem. Process it as you want.

Getting a lot of great entries! You guys are going to make judging this round difficult. Still plenty of time, keep them coming.

A little different perspective

[Rimfiredude]

One more time...why does the image change when I post it?

[dunerunner]

Thought I would go with a panoramic look and an old timey feel just for fun.
