I took this shot today on a walk and I thought it would look nice in sepia, but when I did the sepia filter in PSE, it turned the bright blue sky kind of purple... I dont know, I kind of like it, but it looks a little fake to me. Comments?
The sky color as it seems to take away from the grass. Not so sure the green & purple even go together in terms of complimentary colors. Tough one to handle!
Looks nice to me but I do see what @jennydiggs says. Could always try desaturating a bit more, to reduce the alteration of the sepia-ness on the existing colours, or just bring down the blue channel
I love the purple and green together with the pale gold. We very often get that color of sky naturally in the late afternoon so I didn't even wonder if it had been processed.
It's definitely not overprocessed (I'm personally not a fan of large watermarks, as I find them distracting, but that's not related to the processing). The colors don't clash, but I feel that the filter you put over it tones down what looks like bright, golden lighting that would have worked better.
@orchidfire the watermark is just a personal thing. I have had a few photos stolen so I put it on as much of the subject as I can without completely covering it. Just to protect my work. I may not be a professional photographer but I want to protect myself to some degree.
