I took this shot last fall while riding with some friends. It was a winery that had a great view of the Fall colors. Unfortunately it came through a bit hazy and muted due to the blasting direct sun. Of course the sky was also extremely bland. I used Perfect Photo Suite 7 mainly to do this photo.. I started in Perfect Layers and began with Perfect Effects and got the “look” by laying 3 different effects at varying levels, then I used Perfect Mask to remove the sky (Literally 3 swipes of the mouse and DONE). I then added a new sky using Perfect Layers and saved to return to Lightroom 4. I did the non destructive cropping to start things off. Then I added a touch of vignette, sharpening and cut a smidge of the vibrance out using LR4 sliders in the develop module.
