This is one of my most favorite pictures I have because I think it's "calming" in a way. I babysit my friends daughter quite often and we went up to my family's camp recently and she just sat down on the dock for the longest time and watched the waves and the boats...it was the cutest thing ever. To fix the color of the photo, I increased the saturation and hue a little bit, but lightened it just a tad. By doing that, the colors in her shirt and crocs stand out alot more, more than they did in the original photo. Also, the water now has more of a blue-ish color to it, where as before, it had a charcol tint to it.
This is another favorite photo of mine. I used it on a previous assignment, but started playing around with fixing the colors and I loved the end result. I decreased the lightness and increased the saturation. I also increased the cyan color level and decreased the magenta color level a bit. The end result was that the rainbow was alot brighter and the clouds have a little more color to them and stand out more. You can also see a little of the blue sky within the clouds now.
Very well done. Subtle changes are usually the best way in trying to make your photos look better. You want the photos to look like they are original. And you've done a very good job at this.
ReplyDeleteI have to mention this though, have you seen the double rainbow guy on YouTube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI
Your photos look great! I really like the little girl on the dock. You added just the right amount of color adjustment. I think that the colors in the girl's shirt looks really cool and stands out.
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow image looks cool. Adding the cyan color really brings out the blue in the sky and looks great behind the rainbow.
Nice work!
