My Image Your View: Invite to the Tetons
May 27, 2019 09:10:34 #
This is a small river crossing near String Lake with a view of the Wyoming Teton Mountains. This leads to a beautiful hiking trail that travels along the base of those mountains. This image was taken during last years west coast wildfires causing the haze. This is an unedited SOOC image converted to jpg from the raw file.

These scene is so inviting all I really wanted to do was step foot on that bridge and follow the trail! But what I actually did was add a bit of clarity, contrast, lowered the exposure a couple of points, took the highlights and blacks down a few points and sharpened. It looks better in my LR program than it does here, even though I exported it in sRGB. Oh well.

I was after the feeling of clearing the barrier (woods) to start on an inviting trek to the distant mountain. Cropped, and upped some color and detail to get the smell and feel of being there. Flipped the shot for better composition and to reinforce the meaning.

This looked like it was too good to take a pass on. It was.
After downloading it and while I was studying it the bridge surface looked a bit off level but just rotating the image introduced other errors. So, the bridge was selected and copied to a new layer. Next using transform/warp tools the bridge was leveled and using masking, brushed into the background copy. The ‘birch’ looking tree to the left of the bridge was ‘picked’ and brightened.
After the usual lighting adjustments (Hi light, shadow, contrast &etc.) the image looked “crunchy” even though it hadn’t been sharpened. Using the new texture tool in ACR that was addressed. Next I wanted to add depth to the image. Adding a copy of the working layer it was softened, that layer was then copied and also soften giving me two softened copies the 2nd more so. Using layer masks these were added to the image with the 1st used for the midrange and the 2nd for the far mountains. Additionally for depth, the image was given some vignetting. Color balancing and shadow color adjusting finished the project.

SD Here is my try at this very nice image. It has interest and work ability. This is an application of an odd technique in PSP. RBorud

I usually find it looked far better in my imagination than it did on screen

I can name that fairy tale - it looks like the "Three Billy Goats Gruff"

Why did the rooster cross the river?
Oh Linda, you're opening a can of worms with this question...
- To get to the young chicks on the other side
- because the duck took the day off
- too long to walk around the river
- if the river wouldn't cross the rooster, the rooster must cross the river
- because roosters are really dumb
- to show the duck it could be done
- because mama said "no"
- to prove he wasn't chicken
- etc,etc...
and let's not forget "to get to the other side".
LOL
