Nice shots, I like the last one has a lot of impact with those clouds!

The new forest is one of my most favourite places on earth.

Well done, how the heck did they turn out so blue??

Very nice shots but the sky is a little too blue for my taste. No 3 is my favourite, think the colouring including the sky is spot on

Nice set. Sky is very vivid - CPL? Or some hefty post-processing? Either way, a good outcome. The New Forest is one of my favourite places too Good as they are, with shots 1 and 5, maybe have a play with cropping/reframing to place the tree on a vertical 3rd instead?

CPL?

Not too hefty PP actually, mostly it was down to increasing the saturation of the blues in camera raw. pretty much it. And i used a polarising filter.

I think CPL means Circular Polariser?

I have a few dark sky shots, but the blue is nowhere near as vivid. How exactly do you increase the blue channel in raw format?
