[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A spring impression from my garden. :)

The post processing:
- curves adjustment
- shadow/highlight and color adjustment in lab mode
- sharpening
- reduction of image size

The original from the camera raw is available in the workshop.

The workshop also contains a variant based on hints of Jose Adolfo Segura (jafsc).

Enjoy,
Attila

Hello Attila!
Very beautiful flowers!
I like your original more.
I have an WS for you. It's my shot!
Best regards!
Lili

Your original is really better attila. Only with redimension and a little USM at 125 % would be enough imho :)

Servus my friend,
To put it abruptly, I think you jumped over the horse with this one.The original is not bad at all; I like it much more then the uploaded version.
They say: the best post-processing work is the one you don`t see,the one you don`t notice.
The big mistake in your photo is using a much too large amount of shadow correction in Lab color mode; you lost all the blacks, the picture became "transparent",fake.
One advice from me to you: before touching the original photo,before doing anything to it, duplicate it and keep it as reference. Do your work on the other copy and every once in a while take a peep to the original; if it is too much different,you went to far. Go out, drink a tea, do something else then come back at look at it again.
This is not in Dan Margulis`s book:)...but listen to me.
Cheers:)
Nelu
