About the Image(s)

Shot 10/11/24 at 1/5 sec, f/1.8,ISO 800 6.86mm, iPhone 14 Pro Max hand held against a tree trunk. You can see the unedited and the processed. Frankly the processed image looks more like what I felt I saw. Perhaps I should have adjusted the exposure when I took it, but even at this exposure the blow out near the lights is extreme. HDR would have been in order to duplicate what I saw.The perspective shift was significant and I did not completely fix it. I am below the castle and perspective shift is the way we see it with our eyes. All the adjustments and the reasons might be part of the discussion.
