This photo was taken in 2016 while visiting the wonderful little coastal town of Camogli (silent "g"), located on the Italian Riviera. The photo has not had any post-processing; hope you enjoy making it your own. :-)

I loved the lights, so emphasized some of them, brought others into harmony, and cropped to lead the eye around, visiting each.

It's really such a nice photo I didn't think it needed a lot of work. I tweeked a few basics then added some additional color to the sky. There was a little pink in the foreground waves so I tried to bring that out and added a hint of it to the sky and lighter areas of the water. I also tried to sharpen up the buildings a little to give them a little prominence over the hills in the background. Great image to work with.

I really like this picture. The lights looked a bit green on my screen, and I tried to change that a bit but couldn't. This is basic work in LR. It looked a tad crooked to my eyes, so I applied a few points of straightening. I used the window edges for deciding when to quit! But how does one change the tone of the green lights?

Nice capture! Hope my processing has done it some justice. I tried to bring the buildings out a bit, for as someone else said, the buildings have some nice color. I also wanted to tone down the sky in the left half of the frame. A bit of dodging to bring some detail out of the mountain behind the buildings. A bit of dodging of the wave breaking I thought led the eye a bit. Fun stuff.

One good pic with many beautiful interpretations. It just shows me that everyone has a different idea of beauty, and I like them all.
Thanks for sharing,

Interesting photo to work on. I did 3 versions before I decided on this one. The town and church go back a long way so I decided to have my picture try and represent that heritage.
SANTA MARIA ASSUNTA CHURCH
Originally built in 12th century near the harbor and twice renovated during 16th and 19th centuries.

The HSL tool if you have one. It looks like the green lights are the only green in the shot so you don't have to worry about anything else getting discoloured. In Lr the HSL tool only works on the whole image, but I believe in Ps you can use it on selections.

Some really nice interpretations of this pretty scene. I thought I would go in a different direction.

Thank you everyone for all the very nice compliments re the photo I posted; it is one of my favorites from the area.
But honestly, the quaint fishing village of Camogli has photo ops at every turn... It really is a lovely place to stay and we thoroughly enjoyed the week we spent there!
It is not yet overrun with tourists (American or otherwise), although that may not be true in another 5-years or so, as it is listed as an alternative to the more crowded seaports in the area like Portofino.
