Punched it up | | Dpbours
(2066) [2008-03-25 08:08:32] [1] | I started with some unsharp masking with some emphasis on the black and white fading.
Then a play with hue/saturation and lightness.
Used ND Grad and ND Blue filters to punch up the sky and balance it better with the foreground.
Then I used velvia vision plugin to punch up the yellow/green tones and enhance the dynamic range in the darker foreground.
Hope you like it! |

Desat + sat/hue/light | | Dpbours
(2066) [2008-03-21 12:05:33] [1] | I desaturated the scarf, since the red was reflecting too much.
After that I worked on the face, hair and coat to punch it up a bit with hue/sat/light and contrast.
Hope you like it! |

Dynamic range, ND Grad, noise, USM | | Dpbours
(2066) [2008-03-17 07:53:18] [1] | I started with the velvia vision plugin to give the feel of an increased dynamic range. It lightens up the foreground, but does not touch the darker parts.
Then a gradual darkness filter over the clouds diagonally to make the cloud darkest to the left top.
Then some hue / saturation and lightness.
Then I used noise ninja to get rid of the noise in the clouds.
And last some unsharp masking:
USM 80%, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold;
Edit - fade to lighter, 100% opacity.
USM 80%, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold;
Edit - fade to darker, 100% opacity.
Hope you like it!! |

exposure, usm, hue/sat | | Dpbours
(2066) [2008-03-13 05:00:47] [1] [+] | First exposure increase +30
unsharp masking, +80, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold.
Edit - fade to lighter, 100 % opacity.
unsharp masking, +80, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold.
Edit - fade to darker, 100 % opacity.
Then I played with hue/sat and lightness to increase the impact of the light.
Last I used velvia vision plugin to increase the dynamic range. Which is mostly visible in the orange lights around the statues.
Hope you like it! |

Unsharp masking + noise reduction | | Dpbours
(2066) [2008-02-15 05:02:12] [2] | I started with an usm of +5, 40 pix radius, 10 treshold.
Then a 150% USM, 0.3 pix radius and 0 treshold. Edit-fade to lighter, 100% opacity.
Last a 80% USM, 0.3 pix radius and 0 treshold. Edit fade to darker, 100% opacity.
And in the end a noise reduction on the background with Noise Ninja photoshop plugin.
I did crop a bit of the right and the top as well to place the bird a bit differently into the compo. Hope you like it! |
