Alternate crop and PP...

**Scottnorwo** · 09-26-2008, 07:30 PM

Like the crop of second picture and color of first.

Nice shot Alan, what a great place.
The PP in the second crop is a bit overdone, look at the horizon line, way too much IMO

You could always crop out the sky and the treeline and make a cool panorama. The fishing dude looks really good with that processing. Would make a cool signature picture cropped the way I suggested.

Somehow I prefer your first shot. A bit old school for me

Nice shot, #1, is it in sepia tone?

Thanks, Gary.....I like that idea. I was going for a bit of that "dreamy" look in the second pic. Here's the crop you suggested.

Not exactly sepia. I used one of the B&W presets in Lightroom. They're called Wow! Presets for Lightroom. They're free presets for Adobe Lightroom and ACR.

Included in this free collection Lightroom presets designed by Jack Davis:
8 White Balance presets
11 Tone Curve presets
4 Vibrance presets
18 HSL presets

Thanks! I tried something a little different from what I normally do, which was a straight desaturation.

Now that is a photograph! I really like this. #1 for me although I also like #2 the water in particular. Nice framing, good title. That is a wall hanger and cooperate poster type shot.

I like number 1 and #3 the pano with no sky.
