When I say SFO, I mean Big Sur, Carmel beach etc,
Drive 100 miles up or down the coast, and you come across amazing sights

Oversharpening in PP did it. At that time I was really bad at PP, now slowly improving

Last two shots by TG have lovely composition but bit too much of noise is visible and that's killing the shots. Mostly due to HDR processing I guess.
Here is one Pseudo HDR from my side, enroute Pangong Tso

Another shot(not HDR) from my Ladakh trip (but this one is from near Rohtang Pass)

@Kaushik
Yeah, i did try to reduce the noise through software but it works only to a ceratin extend. My biggest hurdle is that my camera doesn't not support RAW, with jpeg Hdrs, noise is something that i got to live with. Also i tried the dramatic look, which added to the noise.
This is another HDR, with slightly smoother lights.

High ISO(3200 equiv caused noise issues, but I had no choice due to low light)
