Ok Karen..
My 1st workshop in a while...so you are honored lol
I have tried to emphasise the humor in this shot and also increase the picture quality...
1st ran the picture through a program called Noise Ninja this smothes out some of the noise(grain) in the shot. then using CS2 desaturated all but the sign which I then used the clone tool to make clean...(I'm not this tidy at home I promise) anyway just to give you (and others) what can be achieved hope you don't mind.
ok thank you for letting me work on this fine image..
ok first adjusted curve values, then convert to b/w then a blend of sharpening and noise reduction to give a subtle soft focus shot then remove over reflection from eyes. thank you for letting me work
ok I increased the canvas to the top and right to extend the space around the barn and to add top to tree.. then increased saturation and added simple frame.
