Before
This image was taken at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in the middle of a blistering hot day. Shown here it is in RAW format and appears flat and lifeless as is normal for RAW files
After
The same image after some post processing in Lightroom. In my opinion an improvement but you can not really make up for the quality of light (or the absence of it)
It is OK but not quite what I have hoped for. It was a particularly clear and bright day and right in the middle of the day. We did not have a choice as is so often the case so it was take the images or have nothing at all.
Below are two more examples.
