Processed BW a day later in LR. Tired looking at it afresh as independent image. few masks undone from colour. created the glow as subtle focal. Raised contrast. Settled for the grey tone of the sky to also see the mountains meaningfully.
Reflections invited.

Glad I was already in my car before the heavens opened. It went incredibly dark, but it didn't last for very long, and the sun was soon out again.
I just messed about with the photograph of a luscious, large green tree against a nice blue background with the clouds, but I decided that was boring, so this is what I did to it.
I'm going to be trying this again because I rather like the outcome of this on my lavender in the garden, which has finished for the summer now, so I couldn't go and do it again.

I really like this. I think you nailed the conversion. I'm especially fond of the sharpness in the distant mountains and the darkness of the shadows on the left mountain and the right side of the dune.
Thanks Phillip.
hi. Looking at the images again, I see patches (or circle) of yellow. this is there in RAW also after closely checking it.
No idea what and why is that. any idea how to remove it?
hi Vijay, it looks like it could be from part of your processing but I'm not sure unless you go back to your RAW to confirm.
There's few ways to remove it either by finding the root cause in post processsing (if it is) and undo that step.
Or in Hue / Saturation in PS, use the picker tool and select that portion and either desaturate or slide the Hue to cooler temp.
Hope that helps
Thanks Danny. will check this route.
