Ullswater dawn - post/pre processing

Last Wednesday, rather foolishly, I joined a few friends for a dawn photoshoot on Ullswater. The chartered ferry departed from Glenridding at 06:00 and in contrast with the previous sunny and cloudless day, this was overcast, drizzly and very cold.

I returned with gigabytes of shots (shooting in RAW) and barely a 'keeper' amongst the lot. The usual battle of exposure time needing to be high because we were on a moving boat, aperture too wide for a decent depth of field (owing to lack of light) and high ISO for the same reason.

I played around with several of the shots and thought some may be interested in a before and after view.

The PP really makes the landscape pop like it could nit with the blue-ish grey drabbed over it and killing contrast.
Nice work.

I like the way you have shown this, does look rather gloomy
