B&W + less haze | | ErikSven
(2299) [2009-11-06 12:26:55] [1] | - automatic level and contrast adaptation;
- strongly enhanced dark tones;
- desaturation
- very slight reframing (to get the borders straight)
- very slight sharpening
All this in Photofiltre.
Feel free to (dis)agree ;o).
TFS & kind regards,

crop, b&w, rotation... | | ErikSven
(2299) [2009-10-02 12:18:42] [1] | Trying to highlight what I think are the essential features of this part of the building, by:
- cropping,
- doing a rotation of 5% in order to enhance the horizontality,
- reducing the intensity of the bright tones (-20%),
- desaturating the picture (100%),
- putting a frame.
Feel free to (dis)agree ;o)

Less Yellow | | ErikSven
(2299) [2009-09-30 12:18:11] [1] [+] | Hello Oana,
The WS you asked for...
First of all, I think it might have been better if you had under-exposed a little "in camera". It would have enhanced the intensity of your colours, whithout them making look artificial.
Wat I did in PP, in order to diminish the yellow hue:
- blue tones: + 5%
- magenta: + 5 %
- bright tones intensity: - 15 %
- dark tones intensity: + 5%
To me, this looks more natural, especially the sky.
Just my view, of course. Feel free to (dis)agree ;o).
TFS & kind regards,
Erik |

Feel free to (dis)agree ;o)
Groetjes!

Tighter framing ... | | ErikSven
(2299) [2009-08-02 05:09:00] [5] | ... by cropping the partially visible elements (like the half-cut person on the left) and in order to focus on the billboard and the man with his mobile phone.
Enhanced dark tones to give more "consistence" to this black and white picture.
Irregular frame, as to underline your composition.
Of course, this only is my personal opinion. Feel free to (dis)agree ;o).
Kind regards,
Erik |

noir & blanc | | ErikSven
(2299) [2009-08-02 01:19:22] | Afin de préserver l'atmosphère paisible tout en évitant l'aspect un rien trop fade des couleurs.
J'ai aussi légèrement augmenté l'intensité des tons sombres, pour donner plus de profondeur au paysage et pour faire ressortir les bateaux à l'avant-plan.
Juste mon avis à moi, bien sûr, que je ne t'oblige pas à partager ;o)
Bien à toi & amicalement,
Erik |

Finding the truth... | | ErikSven
(2299) [2009-07-31 13:27:25] [1] | by merely focussing on the human face...
I recognize that faces can tell us much about a person. Without detracting elements, I hope to have rendered this one more telling. At the same time, as this white face now seems to fade away in its environment, it has more enigmatic power, hasn't it?
Kind regards,
Erik |

Groetjes!
