MrAndMrsIzzy Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Right now this image exists on my computer as a layered PSD (background, sky, buildings and bridge, antenna). Adjustments I've made (so far) are tone, curves, and haze removal. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc. before I sharpen and flatten to completion.

mikemorrell Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Looks fine to me. Great sky and skyline! I also like the line of the bridge. The only thing you might want to consider is brightening up the deeper shadows in the foreground using a masked curve at 20% - 30% transparency (depending on the curve). It's quite natural that the foreground is in shadow and it's important not to make it look unnatural. But brightening the shadows just a touch would IHMO bring out a bit more 'texture' in the shadowed areas at bottom left (trees) and right (buildings).

jc1305us Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Lighten up the shadows, and maybe straighten a bit, but other than that, nice shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAndMrsIzzy Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Didn't notice the crookedness (concentrating too much on setting up the layers). Agree about the shadows. Have to see how that'll work. Don't want to go too far. 1 Izzy From Brooklyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAndMrsIzzy Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 Finished (for the moment anyway. Couldn't really straighten it much without messing up the layers and I didn't want to set them up again. Did lighten the Building and bridge layer but not by much (didn't want to go to far). Printed it. Matted it. Put it in storage. 2 Izzy From Brooklyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
