Rotated image 1.76 degrees CW used the vertical edge of the wooden entrance (which is fairly in the centre of the image) as reference. Added red cross with the yellow alcove as secondary reference.
Chris - the strong sunlight slightly washed out some of the brighter parts of your photo. I attempted to reduce that effect by reducing highlights about 60%. To compensate for a loss of quality in upload, increased saturation and contrast one tick each. Otherwise, I did nothing whatsoever to your great photo, and I'm not certain my WS is an improvement.
Ok-- I thought I'd try a different approach. I ran it thru Neat image to UNSHARPEN a bit, then boosted color saturation and gamma by 2pts. What do you think ??
I worked with Photoshop CS2,
2.Image/Mode/lab colors/Multichannel;
3. Filters/Sharpen/Sharpen more (2x)fot intensifie the abstract appareance;
4. Inverse way:Image/Mode/Lab colors/RGB;
5. Framing: Layers/Duplicate layers/Layers style/Blending mode/Drop shadows and Stroke.
Burned some OE on leafs.
Et voilá! To the wall for comemorate a great from Chris Jules.
