The sky was doing some funky things when I took this image out at Brindabella Hills winery...

I like everything about this image except for the blown highlights in the sky which really distract me from what is an otherwise well framed and captured shot. Is this a result of PP or are you stuck with it?

Yeah... stuck with it...
the sky was VERY glary yesterday.... a fact I lamented over and over..

The fact I saved this much is testement to shooting in raw...

seriously, the highlights were just about blown in my natural vision... the cloud layer was thin where it blew...

But yes... I am annoyed I couldnt save them... I needed a grad filter

Funny you should say that - bought an ND4 at the mini meet on Saturday for that very reason. See this post I've just made for a comparison with and without the filter.
