At this year's Rose Parade I became more interested in the costumes and riders of the equestrian groups. Here's one of the sidesaddle riders.

I played around with the sliders in LR and came up with this result. Any C&C are welcome and appreciated.

    I'm considering this for DSS #16. Any opinion or comment?

    Crop or clone out that bit of greenery at the bottom.

    Lovely crisp shot with the girl well exposed, unfortunately part of the dress looks to have blown.

    If shot in raw that may be retrievable.

    Thanks for the suggestion. The histogram doesn't show blown highlights, but I can burn the light part of the dress to show some more details.

    It may just be my monitor, I'm viewing on a laptop so there may be detail there I am missing.

    Just viewd the version you uploaded for the comp. Greenery gone and I can see that there is now more detail in the area of the dress that looked blown. Good one, best of luck.
