0:00 Intro
Thanks to a bunch of clouds in the sky, the whole scenery looked way more interesting with all the shadows on the mountains. However, naturally raw files reduce the contrast. So my goal for this shot was to bring back to contrast by creating dark shadows and bright highlights. At the same time, I wanted to adjust the colors slightly by making the grass look fresh instead of this dry, orange look. This was all done in Lightroom Classic.

0:29 1. Basic Adjustments
I started by changing the profile to Adobe Standard and adjusting the white balance slightly to give the image a more natural look. I then brought down the highlights to get details in the brightest spots and brought down the shadows for contrast. To further improve that I carefully raised the whites. As I wanted this shot to be clear and sharp, I added texture. Finally, for stronger colors, I brought up the vibrance and the saturation.

3:29 2. Masking
Using a bunch of masks helps to improve contrast further. First, I used a color range mask to target the blue sky and bring down the brightness. Next, I used a linear gradient to cover the dark foreground and brought down the whites to make it darker. Finally, I used another color range mask to target the shadows of the foreground and again brought down the exposure.

6:45 3. Color Grading
Next up I wanted to work the color of the grass. For that, I raised the yellow hue until I got something more green looking. Then, I raised the saturation of both green and yellow. Finally, for further contrast, I brought up the green and yellow luminance.
