Agreed. I felt that somewhere between the two was probably a good balance.
This reminded me of my one sand-dune photo that I posted where I did
some serious twists to the turns. I took the color image, extracted
the red channel and luminance channels out. Did a "hard light" merge
of them back together and then added the color of the original file
back in.
