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!

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!).
