I'm very glad you have restored Aragorn's authority as well as the color to Lothlorien. Did you add color correction to the entire image, or just to parts of the image? It looks like you added some yellow and red. I was disappointed by the blue tones seen in the film -- didn't match the books at all IMO.


I also hated Aragorn the anti-hero as he was in the movies. First of all it doesn't fit the time in which the books were written much more of a late 20th century idea. Also Tolken wrote Aragorn's character very much is related to the heroic ideal of a man who is chosen for a mission and very much prepared to fulfilling his destiny. The movie's Aragorn is filled with self doubt and much less powerful because of it. Though I loved the movies overall this was a typical "I know better then the author move" by Hollywood or New Zealand in this case. I agree as well about the lack of green in the movie. The books very clearly contrast the "green" of nature with the dark smoke of the machines. The movie lacked some of that.

Anyway I would love to see your edits.
