What did you do on the processing? It looks intense. I like it.

I don't like Lightroom so I use Photoshop. Personal preference. I also only adjust 1 or 2 images from a shoot. I don't batch anything. For each color channel: R, G, B, C, M, Y, and each luminosity channel: Highlights, Midtones, Shadows, I adjusted contrast, saturation, brightness.

Normally I lower saturation and raise contrast and brightness, but it's individually done for each channel as necessary. I find I use very little sharpening when adjusting contrast. The last thing is to disable visibility of the Background layer, merge all other layers that are visible, and then turn background layer back on. Stare and compare between background and top layer and adjust opacity of top layer accordingly. Usually down to about 66%. This process seems to add to the already 3D look from Zeiss lenses. But then... I'm annal about stuff like this! B=)

Thanks for sharing!
