Whats the fascination with 'Photoshopping' I'm a professional retoucher and work with photographers all the time. The idea is to polish the image to make it look its best, its been done since photography was produced in a dark room. Amazing images don't just fall out of a camera and on to the page, if that was the case I wouldn't be employed.

Yes, thank you. I think many people would be quite surprised how many professional photographers actually have very little knowledge of Photoshop (I don't even have it installed on my current computer) beyond the absolute basics adjustments; exposure, contrast, highlights/shadows, and color correction. Go figure.

MMmmm, sunset and maybe some color adjustment, but i think its not fake.

Smells like a photoshop.

Care to explain?

Let him show us the original photo.

Lack of camera information means its been through Photoshop but i do like the end result.

It's made of two pictures at least. The background was probably drawn. The first plan photoshoped by tinting and other features. It's demands some photoshop skills but definitely not shooting for such an effect.

Here's your RAW file complete with crooked horizon and sensor spots. Lack of metadata in the previous post doesn't indicate anything other than I didn't click that box when exporting. Your theory is entertaining though. www.pinkbike.com/photo/10584956/?s6

Glad you enjoy it. Do you have any more photo of the site?

www.pinkbike.com/photo/10585077 This one convinced me. So I think it's time for me to say sorry, but the photo looks like works I did in the beginning of my photoshop experience some time ago. I definitely like the bright version more.
