PP Challenge #164

Ok, here's the 164th Post Processing challenge!

I took this photo not long ago with my K-5IIs & Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4. (Don't pay any attention to the EXIF data, it claims that the lens was the Pentax 77mm 1.8 LTD)

I purposely underexposed a little to be sure that I didn't lose any detail in the sky; knowing as I did that the K-5 series gives plenty of leeway for "pushing" a little in post. In retrospect, I guess I didn't need to be so cautious, the sky isn't anywhere close to blowing out yet...

Anyway, have fun! And for an added challenge, see if you can guess which state the photo was taken in!

Download the original DNG file to get started.

The contest ends on November 20th, next Friday @ midnight.

Here's my take on it. some edge distortion present so I thought I'd make it look like an "old newspaper" photo, yellowed with age.

Guess? Upstate NY.

I like Alamo5000's natural take (that is how I like to do it most of the time). Rather than do the same thing I'll submit a couple of different perspectives given the image is prime for a little HDR:
