It does indeed look really good.
In terms of the new release what are your thoughts on the revised grading when Gandalf falls down the crevace of Khazad-dum?
In the new release version they made that blend better with the surrounding scenes adding some more red… and then laxk of when Balrog falls…

Whilst I don’t have the new Release I did see screencaps for the Gift Giving when they leave lothlorien an it was one of the very few instances where I felt ok that looks better what do you reckon on the new grade on the gift gibig scene?
One more final point upon reaching Cahadras (Lothlorien big tree) Notice swap from Day to Night suddenly… Is it possible that it is all graded as night in the adsence of any missing part there. I think this is where Legolas got his new costume and the leaves are falling and the elven women run through the forest.
