On the 'creatative' side of a hay field

[SDB777]

Single shot ARW w/Sony a350 35mm(kit lens w/UV filter only)
f/9 - ISO 100 - 1/500



As stated in the title, I used a little creativity with the sliders to bring out more detail in the clouds. I know most don't like 'cooked images', but since it is my photo....well, I like it in this one.

If I could ask the 'masses' though, how can I 'brighten the branch in the middle' without making the rest of the image overly bright?
(I have LR, CS4 to work with, but I don't know half as much as I should about them)

Not my cup of tea.

You could do another one and adjust for how you want the branch then layer both versions in cs4 and mask out branch to bring the rest of the background in. But, I too think it's over done and would look much better toned way down.

Since you've gone this far, just clone out the dark part of the branch entirely.

Look up channel masks.
this would be an easy one.

Where would a fella 'look' for this?
