Re-worked in lightroom

Re-worked in lightroom · 02:35 PM

Ok, I re-worked a earlier picture in Lightroom [will attached the orginal in a minute. I wanted to get comments on the two. I changed the WB and contrast on this one over the other. JIMBO

Please post the original, Jimbo. It could be my monitor, but the colours in this one just look flat.

Here is the orginal picture. I am leaning towards re-worked one? JIMBO

I would probably settle somewhere in the middle... I like the contrast in the first, but the colours of the second (or original)

May I try?
Slightly sharpened and just a little bit adjusted color curve:

Jimbo · 09-20-2008, 03:21 PM

Sure... JIMBO

I think you did autolevel or auto colour or something like that. The 2nd shot has more warm colour and it would be great if you add a touch of cool tone using channel mixer to shift the colour temperature.

The photo is composed well.

Altough now when I look, there's no big difference between this and your last

Last time on this one and thank you for commenting all.... This one was re-worked a little more in Elements 6... I also see a little darkening when they compress.... Could spend days on one photo... All this helps on future processing guys as it is still a learning curve for me. JIMBO

Like your touch up Spex.. Thanks roentarre... I agree as the first one is Auto white balance and it went too far... I really like the process and everyone's comments help with processing in the future. . Cheers JIMBO
