Curious to know what folks think about the processing of these 2 images but especially the one on the right. The one on the left was just some curves. select color, contrast, and D&B. I then added a quadtone to the one on the right.
Thanks in advance!!

| I am not a PP guru, but I really like the image on the left. The flow of the image draws you into it and the colors are very nice. The one on the right really doesn't appeal to me. Somehow it lacks depth and perhaps a full range of B&W....don't know how to quantify what I see. |

I would have to say the one of the left, too.
I also could resist trying to add a little more mood to it. I hope you don't mind put I wanted to play around and see what I could come up with in about 5 minutes. Here it is.

Soft glow plug-in or filter?
I like it! |

No plug-in or filter.
I did it with dodge and burn layer along with gb layer x2, one screen and one multiply mode.
The a layer using the color mode to enhance the colors using d/b with the brush tool and color.
ETA: a small amount of neat image was used then applied one round of USM at 150-.03-0 (normal mode).
Thanks for the complement on the PP.

gb layer is Gaussian Blur layer.

Great location! It seems like such a shame to take those Autumn colors and desaturate them, so I like the colored version also.
Your original colored version looked a bit washed out to me, so I bumped the contrast and saturation. I thought the bridge was really neat too, so I dodged it to make it bring it out of the shadows a bit. This version might be a little too red overall, so I probably went too far with the saturation, but I think the contrast brings a lot of life to the rocks.

I should've figured that out. Thanks.

Yes a little too saturated, but otherwise contrast seems to be what this needed.
Does anyone though have suggestions as to a B&W version of this? The more I look at the quadtone version the less I like that one, but I'd like to be able to do something in B&W with this (even though it does have nice colors). Any ideas on how to do that? |
