I lean toward processing that feels natural but still has punch and depth.
From the critiques you referenced and my “Landscape With Punch” breakdown, here are a few recurring techniques I use and talk about a lot:
- Strong local contrast and clarity to bring out textures in rocks, foliage, and structures
- Careful use of HDR so it’s bright, colorful, and still natural (no crunchy halos)
- Dodging and burning to guide the eye and enhance dimension
- Graduated filters to balance skies and foregrounds
- Subtle color grading to unify tones and keep them believable
Are you editing in Lightroom, Photoshop, or something else so I can get more specific for your workflow?
