For the first photo, I chose to go a little darker rather than lighten the image. After playing with the levels, I tweaked the hue/saturation and exposure. After that I added a color overlay. Once I decided to go darker I wanted to have it so the aerial was more of a silhouetted focal point in the image and at the same time keep the vibrant colors of the flag.
For this photo my plan was to bring out the vibrant colors of the sky, water and the beach. I wanted to make the colors to be noticed. All I did in this one was a few level changes, a few curve changes, and hue/saturation changes.
For this photo I chose to do a couple different color overlays to create this image. I changed the levels to where I wanted them. Then, I did two gradient fill overlays. Then, played with the curves. And finally, I did a couple of tweaks to the hue/saturation and the color balance. This sort of gives it a sepia tone look but still keep some color to keep the eyes interested.
Nice job on the manipulations. I especially like what you did with the ocean scene. It gave it such character and more depth.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. I really like the new colors of the flag picture. You did a great job darkening the picture without taking away from the flag. Nice Job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference making your pictures darker.. It changes the whole feel of them...I like the picture of the sea, it has brilliant colors in the second picture. Great job!
