Winter landscapes in solitude: I designed this preset for slightly underexposed, faded winter sun landscapes. This preset is perfect for bringing forward the subdued browns and oranges of dormant forests and quiet scenes of winter. View my visual journal featuring this preset here.

This Lightroom desktop preset works best on images in slightly underexposed light which will bring up the shadows. For the best results, I recommend adjustments on each photo - presets are meant as a base to begin your unique creation and your adjustments will make the photos even more personal. Try taking the exposure down for an even deeper mood, and the contrast down for a softer character.
