House With a View (60)

Lonely house by the shore of Loch Scavaig on the Isle of Skye, with the Cullins in the background.

PP Notes:
- This photo was taken on a (typical) misty day. It turned out that the mountains in the background had a strong blue-gray cast that made the photo a bit dull. I isolated the the background and played with contrast and levels until I got a better balance. I also de-saturated the foreground to make the house stand out a bit more.

I posted the original in Workshop

I've done a lot of subtle things here: contrast masking, sharpening, saturation adjustment, levels adjustment and curves all to bring out some of the details in the grass, roof and mountains. It's a lovely image. I hope you find this workshop useful.
