this is my nephew jacob .. he wanted to show me some great places in the paddock when we were burning off .. its like a fairy land in some small areas .. this is one of them .. an absolutely fantastic place for a young boy to explore ..
before ..
processing steps ..
open jpeg in cs3 ..
small amount of lucis to lighten and give a bit of sharpness ..
color efex/high key but deleted a lot of it ..
adjustment layers in levels and colour balance ..
new layer and did gradient fill in multiply blending mode to create a bit of blue in the sky ..
resized to 2500 pixels width and did noise ninja (i dont get the softening effect when i use ninja at a larger size)..
sharpen ..
kuboto sloppy border ..
for outside border i used a Dub-Dumpster brush in black, that i got off the net and made sepia tone .. erased that border effect in the photograph and around the sides ..
