Gerald Cafferty Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Another weekly challenge. If anyone else would like to post next week please give it a go, upload a High resolution jpeg. Just indicate by Wednesday next in this thread if you are willing to try. Remember there are no rules you can do what you wish in your interpretation, please can you give information of the steps taken and software used to add interest. It is not meant as a competition just a bit of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn McCreery Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I was attracted to the gulls, so I cropped to accentuate them, used detail extractor and tonal contrast in Silver Efex, and then converted to black and white in Silver Efex. Finally, I added a few more gulls. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyn_saroyan Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Photoshop: I added a curve to darken the sky; darkened the water using B&W adjustment layer in luminosity mode; raised the shadows with a curve, burned the darker areas in the clouds; added an S-curve for global contrast; dodged the birds; cropped the image. On1 Photo Raw: dynamic contrast; subtle vignette. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellinder Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Initially, I decided to go to a square format, and used the cropping tool in PSE15. Then, in Color Efex, I slightly reduced the predominance of blue and used the curves and levels filter to add a bit of green to the highlights. Tonal adjustments - predominantly output reductions on both ends - were made in PSE15. Finally, I used the NIK output sharpener. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
