Do you have a link for this. Sorry, I'm not home and have lost track or the image and am using a laptop with poor color rendition. Maybe when I get home later this week.

Wow, it would never have occurred to me to make changes that way, Chuck,
targeting specific colours. A subtle rendering indeed.

The roof has two "problems", the first being that I deliberately doctored it
to mimic Eastway. But the second is that (as you maybe didn't realise) it is
not the usual rusty red crinkly tin - it has been painted a pinkish red
colour, which is probably why it's a photographer magnet.

And allow me to reciprocate with the settings after my doctoring (in LR not
ACR, but I think we can agree that it amounts to the same) and therefore
before your revisions:

Colour balance as shot
Exposure as shot
Contrast as shot
Highlights -100
Whites - 100
Clarity +61
Vibrance +5
Saturation +43
Red saturation +28
Red luminance +40

And cropping, cloning, noise reduction and sharpening which I won't bother
with.

Pretty violent manipulation!

Thanks for looking and reinterpreting.

My ACR formula to revise your doctored version
Exposure +0.2
Whites -10
Blacks +19
Saturation
Reds -14        
Oranges +19
Yellows +26
Greens +35
Purples +73 (there is purple hiding on the distant hill)

I did the saturation changes first then went back and adjusted exposure
and black and white points.  The final result looks rich but natural...
except for the roof.  I'm not sure that can be made to look natural.

Very well spotted, CH, thanks for looking and commenting - I am impressed.
I
was playing around with my file to duplicate the saturation of Peter
Eastway's redering, but I forgot to include the link to his image. Oops.

That to my eye looks overdone - and I was there, albeit on a different,
rather overcast day with no sun. Even so, the roof is in shadow on
Eastway's
image, so the comparison is reasonable.

Now, you ask, what was the file like before I played around with it? Here
is
a JPEG without any of the edits, straight export from LR:

So, back to the original discussion, I don't think that Eastway is using
HDR, but he is certainly leaning heavily on the saturation slider.

Very interesting, the foreground is rather saturated while the background
looks so gray.

But I did take a quick look at his Scotland portfolio (well where else
do you think I would look?) and was a little surprised to be able to
recognise one scene from the thumbnail! Again, overcooked, but well
framed, even if it is a well-trodden route for photographers. My own
take on the scene is from a different angle - largely to avoid getting
other photographers who "chance" to be there in the frame:

There is a lot less headroom in E-1 files compared to later models -
but it's surprising how much more there was to be had using the latest
LR processing model. Thankfully!
