Hello everyone,
I took a picture of a romantic place in Durham (England). You can see it here — <http://www.badongo.com/pic/5470867?size=original>
I think there are things that can be done in Photoshop to improve this picture and do justice to the beautiful scene – for example, somehow accentuate the dramatism of the water reflections, or add lighting effects that can maybe compensate for the less-than-ideal time of the day when the picture was taken.
The first step would be to find the right cropping for the picture, my idea was something like this — <http://www.badongo.com/pic/5470940?size=original>
Then, of course, a certain number of processing steps. I will try to put my rudimentary Photoshop skills to work and see what comes out, but I could really use and appreciate it if anyone would like to try their hand at this too. I want both to put this picture in a better light, and also get a tiny bit better at PS in the process. Some of the effects I had in mind are Light Source, Blur and PhotoFilter; and I’m sure there are a lot others that I don’t know (or don’t use creatively enough) that could be applied with nice results in this case. Once again, I’d be happy to receive any visual suggestions. Thanks in advance!
