Glenn McCreery Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I played with cropping and then decided that the strong colors of the background were the most interesting aspect of the image, so I increased saturation. The photographer looked a bit drab in comparison with the background, so I decided that he needed a splash of color. I selected various luminosity ranges with "magic wand" in Photoshop CS5 and then used the "paint bucket" tool to apply various colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill J Boyd Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Cropping and a few adjustments in LR, i.e, shadows, highlights, etc. Then used Silver Efex Pro 2 for final result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After recovering from temporary blindness, I decided I like what you did with the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn McCreery Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks Michael. I enjoy the post processing challenge as a fun exercise that sharpens my image editing skills without having to take the exercise or the rsults too seriously. If I knew the photographer, and wanted to please him, my results might be something like Tony's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellinder Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Here's my version. First, I converted the image to b&w using Silver Efex. Then, using Color Efex's infrared tool, I added both blue toning and bold contrast. Finally, in PSE15, I used the sharpening tool to increase luminosity selectively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Bortnick Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Been rather rainy for a while here. I liked the sun & color aspect so.... 1. Mirror image 2. New layer - jacked brightness 100% to washout details 3. New layer - Fractalius for painterly effect - linear light blend 4. 16:9 crop 5. Oil paint filter for light texture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald Cafferty Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hi Folks, Crop in LR, Open shadows on subjects face and shorts with LR. Open in Color Efex Pro, unable to improve further so just added vignette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcstep Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Interesting. Somehow I missed the challenge this week. Do you have an unprocessed, higher resolution version for us to work with? The photographer in the image and some other bits already have sharpening artifacts, such as the halo around his body. If we could see the in-camera version, that'd a better starting point.

Sadly, David, the answer to your question is "no." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
