What needs to be done?
Aug 13, 2013 20:10:52 #
I'm thinking of printing this on canvas for our bedroom. Scene is from Venice. Before is the original shot. After is after pp. Which do you prefer? Anything need to be done to the photo? Should I find another? Critique, please!!!
Meanwhile I'm still looking through our travel photos for the one I want to see every night when I go to bed. :lol:

Original has nice deep colors, the next seems washed out. I like the original best.

Agree on colors. I was sort of going for a watercolor feel in the After.

no1 has good contrasting colours 2 looks over exposed. If I was going to do anything with this I would open it in raw and do some adjustments to get rid of the noise and a little sharpening. Then I would open the image in my main editor for final tuning.

It is a fine picture.
I don't know what program you are using , my only suggestion is if you have windows media gallery. Go to shadows in the exposure settings raising this seems to have made it possible to illuminate the dark strip on the footbridge and shutters so you can see there beautiful colors, and still leaves the desired effect to the reds I fell you are seeking that is lost in the lower photo. And I will point out that Sharpening just a very small bit did in fact help the green leaves, but just very little. It is a fine picture, that's for sure :) Thank you for sharing

Thanks so much for taking the time to look and comment. I use Photoshop with various plug-ins. I put through RAW, used an alabaster filter then erased to bring out the shutters and bridge. Used High Pass to sharpen.

I like the colors in the first photo. I think the second is overexposed. Nice photo.

Well, everyone seems to agree on the deep colors. The After isn't really overexposed, I used an alabaster action on it. Thought it might give it a watercolor look. My bad.
