![Gold Star Critiquer/Silver Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 398 W: 18 N: 426]](http://i1.treklens.com/misc/g-s-g.gif) (2659) [2008-02-22 13:14:24] | | The original photo is good but a bit light to highlight details and tonal range which is one of the major elements in B&W. What I've done here was a subtle treatment and very simple ... using the Hue/Saturation, I just played around with the saturation and lightness until I got the balance. To finish, I applied the unsharp function. Hope you like it. |

(2659) [2008-02-22 00:43:28] [2] | I find the pole in the background a distraction to the main subject. So I removed it using the clone function.
I also crop the image to take out the excess dark areas.
I then slightly adjust the contrast and then unsharp.
Hope you like it.

(2659) [2008-02-20 23:29:45] [3] | | What I did here was select the sky and clouds using the magic wand. I then adjust the contrast to darken the clouds so it would look stormy as waht the title suggests. Hope you like it. |

(2659) [2008-02-20 23:20:38] [1] | | I used the Shadows/Highlight function (Image -> Adjustments -> Shadow/Highlight) to adjust the contrast in the water. I used the value 50% in the Shadows Amount parameter. Hope you like it. |

(2659) [2008-02-18 15:27:01] | | To fix the underexposure I used PhotoShop's Shadow/Highlight function (Image -> Adjustments -> Shadow/Highlight). This effectively increased the tonal range of the image. Hope you like it. |
