3-D leaf

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted November 7, 2010106 views3 comments

Going through old images and came across this from the summer... had no plans for it when I took it but couldn't pass up the chance. Now this is pretty mild for photo-art but found it fitting. In processing this image I really wanted to make it pop from the water - it just kills me that I missed the sharpness on the left side.

ACR adjustments including exposure, curves and vignette addition
Photoshop Processing included playing with colors, cleaning up the water a little, sharpening, noise reduction and levels adjustment. This is full frame and rotated from horizontal to vertical

Luke, I like this a lot. Nice deep colors and the vignette adds a nice touch. I may have composed it to the lower/right more. Nice work!

Lots of great contrast Luke. You might want to crop in a bit leaving a little less room on the sides. Nice image.

The colors are nice and the leaf does pop from the water. A different composition would help; I'd be tempted to rotate it 10-15 degrees right and crop it a little tighter.
