My local camera club - Arnold and District Camera Club - is having a photoshop challenge evening (other editors are available)
We've issued 8 photographs to our members and challenged them to edit them as they wish and then present the result of the edit to the members
The collage above is my edits of club member Alan's boat.
The top shot is the original shot. I removed a little boat off the horizon , removed the seagull flying through the frame, cropped to letterbox and then for the middle image i did some tone mapping and blue tinting and for the bottom image i did a grainy monochrome film type conversion
We know how to enjoy ourselves at camera club you know !!!
I like the blue tinting middle one - more contrast of colour to define the shape of the boat. The bottom one is more arty but I do like to see a blue sea!
Must be great fun to compete on processing. I like the middle picture most - you've put in some lovely toning to the shot. Yes I would love to drive that car - wouldn't you?
Cool editing and very thoughtfully done. I think getting rid of the gull was a good call, it's rather distracting, I feel.
Must admit I like the warmer light in the untouched version and I'm wondering if it would be possible to lift the black a bit on the lower half of the hull a smidgeon - it looks a tiny bit heavy in the comp. to my eye.
The brightening you've used pulls out the details and makes for a stronger impact and the textures in the b&w are pleasing too.
