Coyote Hills
A. Mostly grays, some white, and a bit of black
B. Workflow and photoshop:
1. Levels for BW -some white values accentuated using white point
Levels to brighten back hill (separate layer)
2. Curves to darken mostly gray midtone values (masked back hill and lower right shrubs)
3. Hue/Saturation to saturate yellow highlights from sun temp (all shrubs)
4. Color Balance to slightly saturate green (random shrubs where green is present)
5. Brightness/Contrast to multiply sky for intense blue hue
6. Brightness/Contrast to darken shadows & colors of rock formation and shrubs
for a bit of black and depth perception; apply eye control (separate layer)
7. Resize and used Sharpen/Unsharp Mask
