Sometimes I find sharp images too uncomfortable to look out - they're harsh. I will often use the FocalBlade plug-in soft blur filtration to soften them. I used just a bit of it on this image which I had initially treated with Topaz Adjust to bring out more contrast. I like to use FocalBlade Soft Blur on bird feathers and animal fur, as well.

This is not an hdr image. The dynamic range from the Sony RX10 iv is excellent. It's one of my favorite "do all" cameras.
