Boris, you can do a hell of a lot with Lr gradients, adjustment brushes, etc. You are much less limited than you may think. Just requires the time to play with these tools.
I know. I use gradients very often to correct exposure locally (usually towards the frame corners) and to correct contrast, etc. But I think that WB controls and color controls are global and cannot be applied locally via gradients.
I don't like adjustment brushes and use them only to correct things such as extremely overblown or contrasty areas. It is because I don't have the precise pointing input device such as pen or whatever and with the mouse I can hardly do it in a way that is printable afterwards. On the small web size image it would look ok, but at bigger sizes - no go.
Of course with enough practice and repetitions I might be able to do it, but honestly - I am too lazy for that.
This is more to *my* taste. Warmer foreground trees, less background blueness.
Roger that.
Well I'd suggest to you to only display the work that shows *your* intent.
Oh, I did want to play with colors. I mean not in a sense of making them unrealistic or HDR, but rather try to build the photograph around colors and light and not from specific composition element. I am just starting on this way so that any feedback would be good here.
