PESO - downtown Dallas - bird's eye view

2013-11-23 Thread Igor Roshchin


Even though Dallas is on the news in regards to the recent 
anniversary of JFK's assassination, this was not prompted by that.
A week ago I was flying to Knoxville, and the plane flew by the downtown
just before landing at DFW.

I am not 100% happy with this image, but cannot figure out what can
be done. So, all comments are welcome.

Igor -

I played with this a little in PSE 10 - auto color correction, adjusted 
levels, adjusted shadows & highlights and sharpened a little using the 
high pass filter.


Here's what I came up with...I'll remove this in 24 hours, sooner if 
you'd like...

It's a good improvement and I don't know what else could you do with
it. Don't understand why would you remove it... It's your image, do as
you like:)

A subtle vignette might add to it a little, too.

Actually, it's Igor's image, I just fooled with the processing a little, 
that's why I said I'd take it down if he wanted.

Whoa! Sometimes Auto is a good thing. :-) That should inspire you,
Igor. Nicely framed original shot.

Excellent shot, Igor.  You should sell it to the local chamber of commerce.

2013-11-24 Thread Igor Roshchin

Many thanks to all who offered their version of the image both through
and off the list (Paul and two more fellows), as well as verbal
suggestions.
All those are very helpful.

A large variation between the different version I was offered was
the amount of the blue cast (which is present in the original photo).
The edited versions had it reduced or even switched to a brownish cast.
I am yet to figure out how one would do the latter without making major
changes in individual colors.
Also, I am not sure what tonality on that scale blue-brown I'd like to
see in this photo.


Dan and Bruce: thanks for the compliments.

Igor
