Hi Spacecadet, sorry english is not my native english, yes I mean underexposed. But you are right, it was a greyish clouded day.
Could go back on a sunny day. I do use Clarity and dehaze often. I did noticed you have to watch out for noise in dark parts using Clarity though.
Betty, you are spot on. Agree, not everything has to jump of the screen.
To be honest I do spend a lot of time on post processing. Maybe to much sometimes.
Also true for objects I tend to give it a bit more a "style" on purpose. But again to let it stand out more.
For personal work I tread this all different. Tend to process these in a way as how I remember the scene, or maybe even better, how I experienced it, lights etc. Do a lot of processing to get it the way I "think" it was. Not so much as it comes out of the camera. However, for stock I would not go so far that way.
Hope it makes sense what I am trying to say, as english is not my native language.

To ad.. Start to think that my main problem is that I am not very used to take photos during overcast weather. ππ
