A panoramic shot of Kings Creek which appears in the
Lassen Volcanic National Park article. The park, home to Mt. Lassen, a volcano which last erupted about 90 years ago, is a lesser known park in northern California.Edit 1. Brightend sky. Polorization that killed the original is much less here. sky doesn't loook as fake.Edit 2. Superior noise reduction and sharper downsampling.
Reason
The only inside the park panoramic image which shows the landscape up close (I didn't insert it as a scrolling image though)
Supportedit 01 - very nice, beautiful landscape. And FYI, a quick
map check on the coordinates given shows that there is a road, and it's the Lassen Peak Highway/Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway. —

It's just not visible ob the picture, it's out of frame and occluded by trees, unless you have some fancy CSI enhance techniques ;-) --

Well, from the map, the creek flows north west and the image is taken north of the road facing northwest. I don't think any of the road is in the image, occluded or not.

The edit introduces a lot of compression artifacts. Could you upload a better version? P.S.: compare to
this or
that shot with an even darker sky. It was a bright day, and the air was extremely clear (high altitutde and fairly remote location) and had little atmospheric scattering. --

I always save for wiki at level twelve quality on photoshop. The compression artifacts are brobably a result of the saturation adjustments. and were present in the original but were unnoticable. Later today I'll try a anti noise median in a isolated blue channel with sky selected and see hoe it turns out. -

The noise is present on the original, it is not JPEG compression artifacts, I used a noise reduction plugin before downsizing

Oppose original zoom in on the sky, there is a lot of noise, also present in the original which hasn't been downsized

support edit 2 less noisy, better levels, and sharper.

Support Edit 1 (my own) I dont see any real gains on three and there looks to be more polorization of the sky there but its subtle. -

I liked your curves adjustment, but there is too much noise, using the sky and treetops as a reference point
Bleh99908:39, 2 June 2007 (UTC)reply
Fair enough, however no curves adjustment was used. I Originaly considered using the blue channel level adjustment but that would have caused color cast on the entire image. Instead I used Hue/Saturation under the blue mode. Selected about 5 points in the sky and upped the brightness and saturation. I suspect the more pronounced noise came from saturation adjustments. -

Weak Support Edit 2 – Cleanest of the three photos. I would have liked the sky to be a continuous band across the top of the picture.
