| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #2 March 25th 2006 13:02:53 | I like this one :) As Bob mentions, the zig-zag pattern of the rooves is excellent. I think if I'd taken this one I'd have zoomed in a bit tighter and moved the camera down just a fraction - since the sky is the least interesting element. I disagree with Bob about the sky though - very pale works well here, if it were grey or blue you wouldn't have so much contrast with the rooves... Posted you a little workshop - I hope you don't mind. Process: Cropped to reduce the sky. Ran Shadows/Highlights to bring out the shadow detail under the eaves a bit more and tone down the brighter areas a bit (s/h 45%/55%). Used an s-shaped Curve to add a bit more apparent contrast. Used the high-pass sharpening technique (per luminous-landscape.com) merge @ 45% to bring out a bit more detail and increase the contrast a fraction more again. Finally added a simple frame as suggested by Bob - using CanvasSize |

And you have shown more of the people. I like Adrian's color/contrast fix and think the frame helps a lot. My preference would be for a thinner frame, especially on a display/workshop site such as this. Frames can eat up important and limited display space. | |||||||||||||||||||||
