This was a single exposure. I over exposed by one stop on the A7r, as I find every Sony camera I have ever had underexposes by .75-1 stop. Then I really pushed the shadows in LR and got the image to my liking. Then I dumped it into Color Efex pro 4 and used Tonal Contrast to finish the image out. I only applied Tonal Contrast from about the horizon down. I find Color Efex can cause some serious banding and posterization in blue skies if your not carful. If you inspect the image at 100% you'll find some noise in my wife's dress because of the aggressive shadow pushing, but it looks fine on screen and prints good to 17x22, but I wouldn't print it any bigger than that.

Wonderful photo. The color, the light, the man - who appears to be weeping. Fantastic.
