As close as I can get
 
Who is our iColorama expert?



The lady directly above you, Chris. ImageArt iColordrama Queen Ann.

We are also sometimes graced with the presence of juryjone Jerry (see links to his iColorama tutes in the tutorials thread)

Also JillyG and deepop have recently started emerging out from under their iColorama bushels (we don't like them any more).

And and and . . .
 
This is the closest I get to what he has done although looking again at his photos perhaps too intense and he probably used more Flow or Coherence. With a bit more playing and studying his photos I could get closer:

In this second one the saturation is turned down a bit using Adjust>Saturation

I had another go and this next one is perhaps closer. It has less Ambiance and Structure and more Coherence>1 as well as one of my own textures.

So in Snapseed I applied full Ambiance and full Structure. For a less intense look I would tone these two down. In IC he has clearly used either one of the Style>Flow or Coherence options but at a 50% or less opacity to get that soft flowing look and he may well brush mask out some of this in the foreground. I am not sure whether he doe this before or after applying a Texture>Paper. In the example above I used Paper No. 5 beforehand. After this I applied Texture>Vintage>67 at a lower opacity. From here you can use Adjust>Exposure and Adjust>Vibrance to improve contrast, brightness, exposure and saturation.

Instead of using Structure in Snapseed you can also use the first three options of Adjust>High to get sharper details. Sometimes Adjust>Tonelab>3 is also good for adjusting contrast and colours.

I also think he is blending his photos with his own textures, quite subtle ones.

That's amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Amazing
