Under the Trees

[Marc Kurth]

Now this is fun for me, and one of the beautiful things about making and sharing images.

I still like the smooth tonality of my original image best because of the gradients of grays. However, I'm the only one!

LaFoto's work has easily made the image more agreeable to everyone commenting. Believe me, I don't feel badly. I bring this up because this is such a great example of how we all see things differently.

In particular, I want to thank LaFoto for investing the effort to actually show what steps were taken to get the results shown.

Oh, I want to cycle along that path! Now! This one looks inviting!
But it cries out for some more contrasts, deeper shadows. More real blacks and real whites. The way it is it's all grey.

Agreed on all points. Darken it maybe?

Nice photo Marc, it seems you have the best locations to shoot. I like the original and the nice edit done by LaFoto. Great work!

Gotta say..

Superb Vision - this is a great photo IMO !

My only niggle with the shot is that lacks contrast in certain areas. I'm no photoshop guru, by any means but I think some of the more experienced folks on this site could certainly enhance this for you.

La photo has done a lovely job with the shadows and midtones IMO..

Anyway aside from all this talk - Its a bloody great shot !

Nice one,

And I have to agree: Corinna did a really good job with it!
