I have always wanted to ask this: " Is it that you really "see" the scene as you have displayed here, or is it more a case of you have a basic idea that you want the sky more red, the grass more green, and then during conversion or afterwards in PS tweak and tune untill you get something that looks right?

 

Very nice photo by the way. Thanks. JH

Kind of unreal, saturated colours that work very well for this image. The original photo is not very interesting. I'd give it 6 out of 7 points. Cheers, Micheal

 

As a computer assisted work of art - 6.5/7.

As a photograph - 3.5/7.

I just have a hard time getting excited about creating this kind of an image with the computer when the camera didn't show anything close to this. Gross overconversion in my opinion.

I agree with the comment above. In terms of artwork, this is top notch. In terms of a photograph that shows what is actually there....this isn't it. I think this is a great example of what you can do to a pretty dull photograph just by messing with some basic Photoshop editing menus. Nothing too special was done to this image except slide some bars farther left or right. Just shows that you don't have to be a Photoshop expert to dramatically improve an image from a dull photograph to a piece of ARTWORK (not photograph).

Agree with above comments. This is not a "real" photograph, but mostly a digital composition. Just look at the drastic manipulations that were done in many parameters during RAW conversion....it does not look at all like the original image.

The colors may look "cool", but in my honest opinion and with the only intension to a constructive critique, this is the kind of work I hate to see depicted as "Photography". I think it should be categorized under "digital image composition", which can be done sitting in front of a computer in the middle of the night with a basic knowledge of PS.

A digital photograph, when it is propperly exposed, requires very little image enhancement at all in PS, and the idea is to show a "true" representation of what it was captured by the photographer.

But again, that is just my opinion,

I agree with all the latest comments. My preference is also as little post-processing as possible when I create a "photograph". I think if we call this a picture all could be satisfied.

 

So then this will be a nice picture.
