Time to jump in with your reworked images. No need to limit to one image.

Clean looking work for a salvage Ben.
My salvage job for today is one shot at Cannon Beach back in 2005 with a Canon 20D and crummy glass. New crop and lots of work with very flat light and colors.

Nice salvage job Alan.

From 2012 Olympus E410. My previous attempts were long and involved with multiple layers. This is straight out of ACR. I could remove the slight noise but don't feel that it is necessary. This is from a limestone pavement in North Yorkshire. Ken

These are images I have never processed. I was going through old Monument Valley images and came up with a few I thought I could do something that would make them palatable.
This one had deep shadows and the color was off a bit. I thought about adding clouds, but decided against it.
This one had a lot of issues. The worst were the shadows on the inside of the arch as well as a dark arch surface. When I would lighten up the face of the arch the shadows on the inside would look foggy and the sky in the background would get noisy and too light. I worked on this for more than a few hours before I figured out the right combination of steps including masking.
For this one, all I had to do was crop it properly and darken the sky a bit.
For this one it was just a crop and a slight darkening of the sky. It was originally a 16x 9 horizontal image.

Very cool looking Ben! I like the tile like look to those rocks.
It's a funny name for sure. Any idea to the history as to why it's not spelled Secret instead of Cecret?
Wow Doug! You stumbled across a treasure chest here! What really awesome images! I am glad you found them and worked them up. You might want to print a couple of these!
Very nice Ken I don’t see any noise
Wow for previous unprocessed images you hit the jackpot
I have no clue how they choose this spelling

White Oak Springs, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, TN (April 2009) Nikon D700 Edited the RAW file for WB and darkened the top portion of the image where the stand of trees begin.

A very nice landscape Ben—love the composition with the strong foreground.

Alan, I like the subtle coloring and composition as well—I like the framing of the two groups of birds (gulls?) in the foreground.

Doug, I can’t believe these remarkable images are just now seeing the light of day (or computer). All are very well edited and I especially LOVE the last two!

I love the foreground in this one, Ben. The joints in the rock make it look like someone laid tile here. Nice work selecting this foreground.

Just looking at this one I can imagine how hard it was to get this result, Alan. Great job.
Thanks Douglas, that was my idea when taking the image.

As a geologist, I have heard of limestone pavements but have never seen as nice an example as this one, Ken.
