  • I'm gonna start in Tune Image menu.
  • Just increasing the shadows to make the darker areas more bright.
  • Now a selective filter to make those parts a little more brighter.
  • Next using Double Exposure, adding this image with dark clouds.
  • Placing it so the dark clouds are more visible and setting the opacity to 100.
  • Going to masking screen...
  • ...revealing the image at 100%.
  • With the brush value set at zero, zooming out which gives a soft feather and masking
  • out the image from the bottom.
  • Taking time here to get the mountains visible with few clouds remaining for a hazy look.
  • Making sure to remove on the main subject.
  • Not too concerned here with the details on the subject as there is not much to work there.
  • Now using Curves, darkening the overall image.
  • Going to masking screen, removing the effect in the foreground to make only the part of
  • the clouds more dark.
  • Little correction here, going back and dragging the image up a bit to cover the black bar at the top.
  • Before revealing the sun, adding this with Double Exposure and placing it to cover the foreground.
  • Making sure to get the brighter orangish parts on the shining grass.
  • Changing the blend mode to Overlay.
  • Setting the opacity at around here.
  • Going to masking screen now.
  • Brushing on these shiny parts to make it look like the sunlight is hitting those parts.
  • Brushing on the bottom too with little less opacity.
  • Also on the mountains to get that orangish shade.
  • This gives this subtle effect.
  • Now adding the sunset image again and placing it so that the sun is around the right edge
  • on the mountain.
  • Setting the opacity to 100.
  • Masking work to reveal the areas around the evening sun.
  • Now darkening mainly the bottom part with Curves and some masking work.
  • Working with Curves again for some darkened contrast.
  • Will be applying this only on the foreground including the subject.
  • Tuning the overall contrast.
  • After these edits, moving the image to Lightroom for some finishing touches.
  • Here in Lightroom app, first tuning the whites and blacks to make the image pop more.
  • Going to the masking filters, adding a radial filter on the sun.
  • Increasing the Exposure to make it more brighter.
  • This can be done in Snapseed too using Curves though a little more complicated.
  • Adding a vignette in Effects menu.
  • Tuning the overall contrast with curves in the Light menu.
