Tried my hand at hand coloring this image. Wound up with about 11 layers. Takes quite a bit of time but I like the outcome.
It is nice. I have one suggestion. The color of the wagon is too close in color to the grass around the wagon, INHO.
Awesome job! How about posting the 'before' picture?
Excellent and very creative!
In response to a request for the original file I've included two images. The first is the middle image of a 5 exposure HDR set with no corrections. As you can see it is relatively flat. Another issue that was brought up was that the color of the grass and the color of the wagon was very close. As you can see here, they are and I did struggle with that to differentiate as much as possible in a colorization. The second image is the processed HDR image. The 5 exposures were processed first in LR and then brought into Photoshop where I desaturated the image and then created the effect with Topaz Adjust and Clarity. The original file(s) is from a Fuji S5 6MP camera.
Wow! Your second improvement is beautiful.
I like the hand coloring. If you don't mind my asking, how did you learn to do that?
Thanks. There are plenty of online tutorials on how to colorize an image. Check out a few and have some fun.
Good job, Tom! I really like it!
