This is a phone pic processed in Color Efex Pro 4 and Lightroom, I'm liking the Nik apps.

Very intriguing and beautiful capture Cristobal! I am not sure about the extreme blue in hills.
Nice shot, buddy. I'm following your experiences with the Nik apps......might be something I could benefit from . Take care.
Thanks guys. Taz I darkened the mountains to reduce the blue hue.

I am sure you have lot more other things to do Cristobal. However, I needed to give feedback after effort has been made. The darkening doesn't help it. Original seems better when compared.
If you like it enough, maybe explore blue desat? Or localized desat? Also lightening it perhaps. Idea being whatever it takes for blue to not jump out so much and also feel tad out of place.
Either-way, if mine, I would explore if information is available in the sky?
Tad darker, pull back shadows and black some, lots more contrast, some dehaze, kick up whites some.........all of it can be done with one grad filter in LR.
I think the sky has tons of drama that is worth extracting and that may also help distracting eye away from that blue.
Cheers my friend!
Awesome feedback, Taz. Stay tuned.

Don't get mad at me Cristobal........just presenting one possibility.......will delete it as soon as you see it.
Perhaps bit gloomy......but then again this is 2020.....Year of the Broken!
....and title would be YEAR OF THE BROKEN......because playing on gloominess some and the rock is broken and is is 2020!
Cheers!
Not mad at all! Thanks. I get your point, although I find the sky overdone. I will play with it more.

It's an interesting shot and I agree with all that Taz has said. And with your observation that the sky is now overdone. I think most of the dark areas in the sky need to be lightened.

Cheers Cristobal! I removed it. On my screen it was not bad. Share your rework if you get to it! Cheers!
