You're not the only one who misunderstood what I meant, so I'm going
to have to blame myself. I meant better at clever responses to things
like your "sky is purple" question. In fact, I wasn't even aware of an
LGBT reference. I'm falling behind in cultural awareness...


Language, especially some slang is amorphous. It doesn't seem that long
ago when being gay meant to have a cheery and bubbly personality. And
when you called someone a dark or black person, it meant just the opposite.

For some reason none of my (up todate) Adobe CC software can open that
file. :-(

I downloaded it once more and this time it works. Here is quick dash
with Light Room. I used the dehaze filter and some fiddling with color
temperature.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3kaynb57vi...-4603.jpg?dl=0


I understand that you just used dehaze and temperature adjustments,
but the entire color balance seems out of whack to me. I also
understand that you haven't visited Yosemite, and are not familiar
with the character of the rock in the Sierra.

The dehaze does a contrast push which emphasizes saturation. Then add,
what to my eye is way too much warming, and it becomes unnatural and
garish. When I said that is was a subdued, and overcast day I meant it.

This appears to me to be significantly different from the original
SOOC image.


It is.

Just for the fun of it, I set one of my monitors up to sRGB and left
the other at AdobeRGB. I edited the image first on AdobeRGB and then
viewed it on sRGB. I didn't like it at all. I then had to re-edit it
on sRGB which improved it but it did not look quite the same as the
original AdobeRGB. The major changes were in colour temperature. I
much preferred the AdobeRGB version but as few people will have their
monitors set up for that, this one is the sRGB.


Anyway, you have the RAF to play with, see where a different approach
might lead you.


It might be surprising, but things for that shot were closer to the
SOOC, which really only needed some minor subtle tweaks without pushing
for a saturation and color which isn't there.

I am obviously influenced by AA. I think that image has far mor impact
in BW.

I agree.
The scene of Yosemite Valley from Tunnel View is forever linked to
Adams. My shot on Sunday is aided in that, not by clarity, but by the
hint of mist/haze deeper in the valley. One bit error which can be made
in post is to attempt to use tools such as "dehaze" to an extreme. The
same goes for attempting to get a clean image.
Consider Adams' classic image "Yosemite Valley - Clearing Winter Storm".
https://culturalinterventions.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/anseladams-yosemite-valley-clearing-winterstorm-1942.jpg

I

think I should plan my next drive up to Yosemite for sometime between
November and February.

It is an image which influences me. That and many others of his images
of the Sierra of that era. Then I also find the work of Galen Rowell
covering similar territory, but in color just as inspiring.

This is a rendition which to my eye works. As I said in another
response to Peter, the haze/mist deep in the valley was an integral
part of the scene that day and to try to fix all of the haze throws the
entire image off balance. There is nothing with this rendition that
appears to disturb the scene with regard to color balance, saturation,
vibrance, or sharpening.

I would say that if one would care to try for an "Adamsesque" B&W
rendition, this version would be a pretty good starting point.

I'm now wondering if a subdued color rendition could
improve on a classic "Adamsesque" B&W rendition.

[Um, no .. I'm not going to try.]
