Speyer Cathedral peeping out of the trees!
Nikon D810 + 24-120mm @ 1/400 f5.6 ISO100.

Nice shot, Mike. The "hot" processing works well I think, but I wonder what happened to cause the compression artifacts in the sky? File size seems fine (1.5 MB approx)...

My fault Keith, what form do these artifices take?
-
Visible posterisation in the sky. Like you have done a lot of edits on a jpg file?
-
Thanks Birna, if I remember correctly the sky was originally very pale, and Itried to make it bluer!
Also the cloud highlights blew out quite badly!
-
A new edit hopefully not OTT
-
This look quite a bit better, though colours are more muted. No obvious banding in the sky.

The second edit is much better, the first looks sooooo soft on my screen...

I agree Frank the first edit in hindsight was awful, I was trying to make the sky a deeper blue, didn’t work!
Now a definite fan of the Lr dehaze and clarity sliders?

I liked the slightly overcooked color in the first version, now it's too 'normal'. Picky lot, aren't we? (Sorry to be a backseat driver!).

I hear you Fons, but isn’t it a bit shortsighted to ignore the advice of experienced colleagues, of course you may choose not to use that advice if that is your want!
Especially when I’m by no means expert enough to adjust little sections of a photo.

My reply would be go by your own judgment, but then again do as you wish (no negative included btw), you are experienced enough, Mike, to have developed a personal vision.

My take on this is the jpeg artifacts in the first picture is/was the problem, not the colors as such.
If it was done from an raw file it should be possible to make the “overcooked” version without the artifacts.
Sometimes strong colours give strong impression.

My problem is translating the vision to actuality, I’m not very skilled at doing that!

Drop that thought, and assert your own!
