I prefer the fourth - the color of the tree stands out, it feels isolated, and it shows the angle of the stump the little tree is growing on in relation to the water. Yes, please create more post-processing videos, with more detail. Thank you.
I DEFINITELY like to see the SOC, minor, and final edited image. You don't have to do all of them, but maybe one per video. What I like about uncle grumpy's approach is that by showing the RAW image, it conveys a certain honesty that the final image is good, not because of photoshopping (although that obviously improves it), but because the original capture was good. What I really like about your approach is that you gave some explanation as to why your SOC looked the way it did, and what you had in mind when capturing it. Very nice video Gavin.
I just LOVE the walk through of the camera RAW to finished photos - please do more! You pass on a lot of knowledge to us photo 'morons' when you talk about what you did, why you did it, and how it create the final image you intended. And we are HERE FOR IT! Thanks!
I like the before, midway and after discussions. I am also tickled to see the return of a "... do have a fess ..." Those are hilarious, and I have spit out food laughing so hard at many of them. Gavin, you could do a magnifique video of nothing but face cracks edited together, and I bet millions would love it! I know I would. And if you placed Thomas Heaton in the center of it by the murder box camper when he's screeching, "Look at it! Look at it!" well, that would just be over the top hilarious.
Fantastic Video 👏 Loved the images 🙌 It was great to see the before and after of your images at the end of the video. You really have a great way of explaining the whole process of capturing the image from start to finish. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us 🙏
Loved all 4 photos. Loved the raw and the final image comparison. Please keep doing this because is of great help for us to understand what is happening in post-processing.
Your videos are always funny and educational I did like your comparison of images at the end. I appreciate that you only an overview and not details of the exact edits. It gives the viewers a chance to see a comparison of how some relatively small adjustments can make a big difference to the final image. Even if you don’t do that every video, occasionally seeing this type of comparison would be great. Keep up the hilarious work!
Thanks for sharing! I loved all the photos. I especially enjoyed seeing the 3 stages and how the pics were developed from RAW out of camera. That is very helpful and encouraging fro some of my shots. I hope you continue to do that in your videos.
I like the third one and how the off-center tree still feels balanced because of the background. And I really do enjoy seeing how and why you edit the way you do.
All of the shots are incredible but I especially liked the one starting at 3:56. The blues and purples on the horizon contrasted really nicely with the green of the tree.
The 4th image was my favourite. I like the 16 x 9 space, the uniqueness of the tree on the left counter-posed by the subtle changes in fog over the water and ethereal background.
Final shot is my favourite. Love the highlight on the foliage behind. Gives the shot some depth. Thanks for showing the edits. I find it helpful to see how others edit there photos. Much appreciated. Cheers.
Hi Gavin, the 4th shot speaks to me the loudest, but I love them all. Would certainly love to see more of the before and after processing stuff, really interesting to see the transition from raw to post processed. Keep up the fine work.
My favourite conditions, fog, reflections and having the place all to yourself, mornings like this are rare. Some of your best ever here Gavin, that 3rd one is a stunner. Dreamland.
Gavin, I agree with Anna Galach! The background adds to the fairy look. So calming. Love the raw and after; will convince me to shoot in raw because I have been afraid of post processing - that it may be too technical for me. Your Photoshop for Morons will make me less - well, moronic!
Damn! You've gotten some great shots these past few months Gavin! The last two fairy tree compositions were fantastic! Congrats. Glad to see the hard work and research paying off! I liked the editing conversation at the end.
Hey Gavin. Definitely, the last image was my favorite of the four. And yes, keep up the post processing bits. As much as the composition dialogue is invaluable, it's really only half the story. The discussion around post processing is the other critical piece to understanding how you got the image. Some may find it boring, but for someone who wants to learn as much as possible about photography, this piece is critical. Thanks for all you do!
All good images of 'the tree', Gavin! It is hard to pick a favorite. The fog really adds a great mood to all your photos. I do like your post processing. I vote for you to do more.
All very good images but number 4 is spectacular, the subtle tones have a beautiful softness and the glimmers of light in the trees in the background bring a beautiful light to enhace the image 👍📸😊
I purchased your 'Photoshop for Morons', but still enjoy seeing/hearing your post processing. Thumbs up to keep it in, time permitting. Always enjoy your work and the effort put forth.
The before and after image retouching at the end of the video is a nice add. My favorite images is probably the last one. That background popping through the fog with the highlights on the foliage sets the mood for a fantastic shoot. Brilliant work.
Just heard on Adam's vlog about your new life out east!! So incredibly excited for you - as a fellow British import I hope it fulfills all your dreams, Gavin!
Number four was my favourite. It had a more epic feel to it and was on TH-cam, painterly in the extreme. I remember Gavin previously talking about the rarity of perfect shots, but he gets pretty close every week. As always, great channel with exceptional content.
I love the post-processing bit at the end! There are much appreciated gold nuggets there as that part of photography is very important these days as well. Also helps to round out your thought process. Ah...the mind of Gavin, always an adventure! Thanks.
Wonderful shots, Gavin! I very much enjoyed the last one, the horizontal 16:9 framing. The light is gorgeous and the composition is really spot on. If you plan to visit the Dolomites in the future, I know some great places where you can taste good vino! :) Ciao
Another great vid Gavin-thank you!! I like the last pic the best, but all of them are great. The highlights in the background on the last one give it a different sort of pop that I like. Also really enjoy the before/after….would like to see more of that.
photo number 3 would be the 1 i choose, portrait orientation really works well for the scene. enjoyed seeing the raw then the finished edit, gives us hobbyists a glimmer of light with our images lol.
Liked the before, after and end product addition. Loved the images and the usual grumpy but nice humour! Great to see everyone together enjoying the fog. Thanks
Loved all the images Gavin. When I read the title of this vid, I thought someone had vandalised the fairy tree. What a relief. I'd love to see more SOC and finished edits.
I started watching you for photo tips, I stayed for the entertainment but these shots were jaw dropping. “Face like a battered haddock” has gone in my book of Yorkshire sayings along with “meat cove”. top stuff youth.
That last pic Gavin is muy, muy... definitely my favorite and I'll tell you why. If the tree is overshot that bit of light on that background makes it unique. I haven't seen that angle too often but definitely that light makes the shot. It is ethereal, soft and delicate and gives the photo a mood that is peaceful and sublime. I can't stop looking at it!! Thank you BTW, for your photo book and a few of your pics I received for Christmas (a gift from my wife). I always love your work and it's nice to have it to peruse and view on my wall.
The before in RAWs and the after revealed or edited as you want to call it are a great addition to your presentations, thank Gavin for this video, and thank you for your contagious joy
I like the top center image best. I like that you can see the angle of the log the fairy tree grows out of. Also, the light shining through the mist on the water and shore in the background gives it a very mystical look. The Lady of the Lake could raise her hand out of the water bearing the gleaming sword Excalibur at any time.
Love the extra bonus at the end with raw file and comparisons, plus the conversation there is an educational bonus as well. I had already liked the video before I got to that part, I wish I could have liked it twice, thank you! First and last images are my favorites.
I’m not a photographer, but your videos captivate me, how you justify your composition, explain your technique. Your work is out of this world and your YT channel is F’n great! Favorite photo was on the left, because of its purity.
I like the simplicity of the first shot and the duck. But the glow behind the mist makes the fourth one my favorite. I can’t believe it took me until Tuesday to finish watching, can’t wait for the next video.
I did enjoy you walking through your raw processing. I use darktable & gimp here - so I also appreciated that you were talking about what you were doing vs clicking around in software. cheers.
Great vlog and great subject. I liked the last image the best with the great profile of the rock and tree and the softness of the foggy/misty background. Keep up the editing portion and maybe expand a bit as to what you did.
Nice video, good luck with the move, looking forward to the new landscape. It is lovely to see Amanda in the videos, lovely lady. Keep up the great work.

Have you got a Luminar for morons tutorial in the works? TIC
Get the A1, had mine 8 months and haven’t had to clean sensor with the electronic shutter cover!!
@@54Mizery Oh now you're talking - yes please!
Just purchased. Already learning more techniques while working in my 9-5 job. You are a great teacher.
@@ddki9094 Thanks muchly :)
Loved the before and after explanation. Just the right amount of explanation without going overboard on it.
I prefer the fourth - the color of the tree stands out, it feels isolated, and it shows the angle of the stump the little tree is growing on in relation to the water. Yes, please create more post-processing videos, with more detail. Thank you.
I DEFINITELY like to see the SOC, minor, and final edited image. You don't have to do all of them, but maybe one per video.

What I really like about your approach is that you gave some explanation as to why your SOC looked the way it did, and what you had in mind when capturing it. Very nice video Gavin.
Keep up the before and after segments. I like seeing how much editing goes into your final image and the thought process behind it.
Top centre, the last one processed for me, I thought it had a slightly better balance. I’d love to see more ‘before and afters’.
My favorite day of the week has arrived 😎 Excited to see the East coast photos this summer!
Definitely keep on doing more of Before/Afters. 👌
I just LOVE the walk through of the camera RAW to finished photos - please do more! You pass on a lot of knowledge to us photo 'morons' when you talk about what you did, why you did it, and how it create the final image you intended. And we are HERE FOR IT! Thanks!
I love that befor after part. That comparison shows me that I know how shoot but there is something to learn in editing
I like the process part at the end, shows not every shot is perfect straight out of camera and I find that more encouraging.
I like the before, midway and after discussions. I am also tickled to see the return of a "... do have a fess ..." Those are hilarious, and I have spit out food laughing so hard at many of them. Gavin, you could do a magnifique video of nothing but face cracks edited together, and I bet millions would love it! I know I would.

Very much enjoyed the insight on your process. Seeing the before vs. after images is a great addition. Thank you Gavin!
I like the third one and how the off-center tree still feels balanced because of the background. And I really do enjoy seeing how and why you edit the way you do.
All of the shots are incredible but I especially liked the one starting at 3:56. The blues and purples on the horizon contrasted really nicely with the green of the tree.
Yes, loved you showing out of camera to finish. Favourite was the vertical with tree slightly off centre.
The 4th image was my favourite. I like the 16 x 9 space, the uniqueness of the tree on the left counter-posed by the subtle changes in fog over the water and ethereal background.
Definitely more photoshop insights please!!
Superb, as always Gavin!!
Final shot is my favourite. Love the highlight on the foliage behind. Gives the shot some depth. Thanks for showing the edits. I find it helpful to see how others edit there photos. Much appreciated. Cheers.
I do like the raw versus processed comparison. It's one of the biggest reasons I like Uncle Grumpy's videos.
Great work as usual and I learn so much from your editing, so thank you for all the work you put in, it’s much appreciated.
Really enjoyed the before and after reviews. More of that please. And that final shot - outstanding 👏
The last one is my favorite. I love the moodiness of the background and the tree stands alone.
Hi Gavin, the 4th shot speaks to me the loudest, but I love them all. Would certainly love to see more of the before and after processing stuff, really interesting to see the transition from raw to post processed. Keep up the fine work.
My favourite conditions, fog, reflections and having the place all to yourself, mornings like this are rare.

The thing I took away from this is the importance of letting conditions develop. Good to see the fog roll back in and just loved the light emerging.
Yep that was a winner! Loved hearing your reasoning and what you did to the raw file 👍🏻
Damn! You've gotten some great shots these past few months Gavin!
The last two fairy tree compositions were fantastic! Congrats. Glad to see the hard work and research paying off!
I liked the editing conversation at the end.

Thank you for showing your post processing. Last photo was my fav.
Enjoyed seeing your process, would love to see more of that. Thanks!
All good images of 'the tree', Gavin! It is hard to pick a favorite. The fog really adds a great mood to all your photos. I do like your post processing. I vote for you to do more.
That last shot for me, love the depth to it with the background highlights, muy bien Gavin.
The last image is my favourite, mainly because of the addition of the little background, and it’s a yes for this info on processing style
Mine, too. I love the colors and textures in the background.
Definitely the last one- simply beautiful!
All very good images but number 4 is spectacular, the subtle tones have a beautiful softness and the glimmers of light in the trees in the background bring a beautiful light to enhace the image 👍📸😊
The last part of the video was nice to see the difference in shot out of camera and then the editted versions, i liked it
Like the File Comparisons al lot! 👍Almost as much as your out-and-about filming & hilaroius story telling (which makes your channel so unique)😍
Yes, seeing the original RAWs is great; always liked that Adam does that.
Love the post education!!!! Also like the vertical best. Thanks Gavin!!!
I purchased your 'Photoshop for Morons', but still enjoy seeing/hearing your post processing. Thumbs up to keep it in, time permitting. Always enjoy your work and the effort put forth.
Thanks Gavin. Showing and describing the different stages of the images was very helpful. BTW, the last was my fav...
The way to go Gavin with the before and after shot's........Brilliant video once again and a few decent shots😉
I like the final image best for the off center main subject and the secondary subject and the reflections in the water of both. Thanks for sharing.
The before and after image retouching at the end of the video is a nice add. My favorite images is probably the last one. That background popping through the fog with the highlights on the foliage sets the mood for a fantastic shoot. Brilliant work.
Beautiful and iconic. But the one at 20:00 takes the prize for me, as I love the glistening highlights of the plants on the far shore.
The title tricked me. I thought the tree had been vandalized. I liked the last two shots.
Just heard on Adam's vlog about your new life out east!! So incredibly excited for you - as a fellow British import I hope it fulfills all your dreams, Gavin!
Number four was my favourite.
It had a more epic feel to it and was on TH-cam, painterly in the extreme.
I remember Gavin previously talking about the rarity of perfect shots, but he gets pretty close every week.
As always, great channel with exceptional content.
Third is good; fourth is even better, just like the background - really ethereal. Top job.
I love the post-processing bit at the end! There are much appreciated gold nuggets there as that part of photography is very important these days as well. Also helps to round out your thought process. Ah...the mind of Gavin, always an adventure! Thanks.
Wonderful shots, Gavin! I very much enjoyed the last one, the horizontal 16:9 framing. The light is gorgeous and the composition is really spot on. If you plan to visit the Dolomites in the future, I know some great places where you can taste good vino! :) Ciao
Another great vid Gavin-thank you!! I like the last pic the best, but all of them are great. The highlights in the background on the last one give it a different sort of pop that I like. Also really enjoy the before/after….would like to see more of that.
I’m astonished that Gavin didn’t seize the opportunity to say…; “so Leica and subscribe…”! 😂
Enjoyed the before and after! More please! The last image in the set was my fav. The light and fog are magical!
Thumbs up to your walk through of the images from RAW to finals. I enjoyed your commentary on the process.
Another cracking video and I did enjoy the before and after segment
I like seeing the before and after editing process.
Thanks for sharing.
photo number 3 would be the 1 i choose, portrait orientation really works well for the scene. enjoyed seeing the raw then the finished edit, gives us hobbyists a glimmer of light with our images lol.
Great doing the before and after. Especially because you explain it quick without all the sliders moves. Straight to the point.
Liked the before, after and end product addition. Loved the images and the usual grumpy but nice humour! Great to see everyone together enjoying the fog. Thanks
I really enjoyed the RAW to finished image comparisons. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely a thumbs up for your commentary about post production. Always entertaining and educational. Cheers!
Loved all the images Gavin. When I read the title of this vid, I thought someone had vandalised the fairy tree. What a relief. I'd love to see more SOC and finished edits.
I started watching you for photo tips, I stayed for the entertainment but these shots were jaw dropping. “Face like a battered haddock” has gone in my book of Yorkshire sayings along with “meat cove”. top stuff youth.
I love how it creates a heart with the reflection 💚
Fabulous photos. Top center is my favorite. The color tone and hint of fog on the right make it work very well. Great video.
Really liked the before & after shots with walk through. Great stuff!
It's super useful/helpful to see the before and after shots. glad you're starting to do that and hope to see more! Cheers Gavin
That last pic Gavin is muy, muy... definitely my favorite and I'll tell you why. If the tree is overshot that bit of light on that background makes it unique. I haven't seen that angle too often but definitely that light makes the shot. It is ethereal, soft and delicate and gives the photo a mood that is peaceful and sublime. I can't stop looking at it!!
Thank you BTW, for your photo book and a few of your pics I received for Christmas (a gift from my wife). I always love your work and it's nice to have it to peruse and view on my wall.
Thanks Travis :)
fav shot is landscape orientation, tree in lower left simply because that composition works the best IMHO. thumbs up on adding the editing. top shelf.
Loved the before after segment at the end🤓👍 more please!
The last image is, by far, my favorite. I think I like the ghostly background even more than the tree!
Yes, I enjoyed seeing the raw file and what you did for the final image.
Bottom centre is my favourite - I couldn't give a photographic reason, just hit the feels - very calming.
The before in RAWs and the after revealed or edited as you want to call it are a great addition to your presentations, thank Gavin for this video, and thank you for your contagious joy
The last one was my favourite but frankly all of them were just magnifique. Liked the post-session at the end. More please.
I like the top center image best. I like that you can see the angle of the log the fairy tree grows out of. Also, the light shining through the mist on the water and shore in the background gives it a very mystical look. The Lady of the Lake could raise her hand out of the water bearing the gleaming sword Excalibur at any time.
Madness in the mist 👍😎👍 No.4 the rock and tree reflection shape and the heavy shore mist contrast 🤗
Keep showing the raw to finished photos. Glad to see the tree once again.
Love the extra bonus at the end with raw file and comparisons, plus the conversation there is an educational bonus as well. I had already liked the video before I got to that part, I wish I could have liked it twice, thank you! First and last images are my favorites.
Far right. Love the comp and the soft colors Thanks for the processing tutorial!
I’m not a photographer, but your videos captivate me, how you justify your composition, explain your technique. Your work is out of this world and your YT channel is F’n great!
Favorite photo was on the left, because of its purity.
Loved the last image. Really enjoyed from beginning to final product.
Love the format of a quick editing finish!
I like the simplicity of the first shot and the duck. But the glow behind the mist makes the fourth one my favorite.
I can’t believe it took me until Tuesday to finish watching, can’t wait for the next video.
I appreciate your continued focus on photography and not the over emphasis on the camera/lenses.
Another fantastic video! The information at the end is awesome! Keep it up!!
I did enjoy you walking through your raw processing. I use darktable & gimp here - so I also appreciated that you were talking about what you were doing vs clicking around in software. cheers.
Hi Gareth:)
Another fantastic video and good idea to show the final image as well as the raw image, definitely keep going with this style:)
Loved the 2nd last image. Showing the editing was great. More please!!
The final image is def the best. Enjoyed the comparison part at the end. Very educational. Thank you.
Great vlog and great subject. I liked the last image the best with the great profile of the rock and tree and the softness of the foggy/misty background. Keep up the editing portion and maybe expand a bit as to what you did.
Nice video, good luck with the move, looking forward to the new landscape. It is lovely to see Amanda in the videos, lovely lady.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks for including your SOC and processing, fun to see the differences.
