I struggle with process a lot. Lately I seem to be trying to improve my shots with Photo Shop, and this one is no exception. Taken just outside the village of Kagawong on Manitoulin Island with the K10D and the 50mm f1.4.
I liked the shot but noticed all kinds of 'flaws' in original. Please tell me if I am going in the right direction or have I missed the mark.
I cropped a bit tighter to remove the car on the left, cloned out the power lines, greened up the dead grass in the foreground and bumped up the saturation a bit overall. What else could/should I do to improve shots like these? Is it even worth the effort?
