Love the name, certainly both at the top of my list. So happy with the results with plenty of rich contrast and great shadow detail which I was not getting with all the other presets in Aurora HDR. Also the foreground area was much richer in texture detail than if I had simply processed this photo in Lightroom.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_728\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 1367px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/paullovelace.photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Rushcutters-Bay-20160911-1-31-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-728\" src=\"https:\/\/paullovelace.photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Rushcutters-Bay-20160911-1-31-.jpg\" alt=\"Keeping Shadow Detail\" width=\"1357\" height=\"905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paullovelace.photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Rushcutters-Bay-20160911-1-31-.jpg 1357w, https:\/\/paullovelace.photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Rushcutters-Bay-20160911-1-31--600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/paullovelace.photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Rushcutters-Bay-20160911-1-31--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paullovelace.photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Rushcutters-Bay-20160911-1-31--768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/paullovelace.photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Rushcutters-Bay-20160911-1-31--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/paullovelace.photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Rushcutters-Bay-20160911-1-31--330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1357px) 100vw, 1357px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Entrance to Sydney Harbour, Rushcutters Bay, Sydney.
