SOOC

My main album has my answer to my get-pushed this week and an answer to yesterdays mystery. My get-pushed was to do a SOOC as I stupidly stated one time that I love editing and my fear was to get a challenge to do SOOC. Stephanie saw and remembered. In my extra album I have applied the preset I set up in LR as a starting place for most landscape photos.

As for the mystery - I challenged people to guess where I took yesterday's photo. This is not the same flower as there are several but this is my Dunkin Donuts drive through.

Now I will wait to see if my mentor tells me what to do so I don't need the after fix or to tell me the saturation is too much in my fix. I think the yellow needs tweaking in the white balance and I have been lazy about doing that - just hand tweaking after if I mind it.

Love the composition and dof!

Lovely flower at my fav coffee place!

[Francoise]

I like this a lot (I'm thinking I like the colors in the SOOC even if they are not quite what you see)

[Wendy]

I think I prefer the SOOC to your little tweak. i will often do that with my photos where I will edit them and then prefer the SOOC shot so delete my edited one instead.

wonderful capture ...

[Connie Little]

Wonderful image.

[Richard Sayer]

Hmmm - difficult. To my eye, the flowers are more natural in this one but the colour of the advertising box thingy is rather drab... it may, of course, actually be that colour. I think a little work with a layer mask is called for!

Joan, I like this one so much more, sorry!!

[Jacquie]

I prefer this one too; it seems to have more depth. My eye just kept wandering around the previous image.
