| I saturated the colors somewhat, cloned out a some of the over-blurred areas, darkened the burned sky, sharpened and added a simple frame. My aim was to make the image richer without sacrificing the serenity of the scene. |

Hi Jose
I really recommend that you go back to this scene and shoot some more photos there. It is a lovely spot and I am sure if you experiment a bit with different points of view and setting you are bound to take some lovely landscapes.
I merely addressed the colour/brightness aspect of your photo. You will notice the 'smoky' effect has disappeared and the saturation of the colours have increase although I actually had to scale down on the saturation settings. This was predominantly accomplished through setting the black and white points only.
Post Processing done:
I determined the ‘Black & White’ points with the 'Threshold' tool and then I set them with the 'Levels' tool. I reduced 'Saturation' with -3, increased 'Contrast' by +6 and increased 'Brightness' by +8.
The smokiness is gone and the colours have come to light. As I said in the critique, there was not anything I can do to the loss of detail caused by excessive noise reduction. I hope you like it though.
Regards
Loot |
