24 Nov 19 Comment Laura, I looked up the terms for PSA Photojournalism entries for S4C and came up with this. In Photoshop I used the burn tool set for midtones, radius 2 and 100% hardness to darken the bright sky. It takes a lot of burning at the pixel level, but the sky looks like twilight. Then I used Aurora HDR to lighten shadows and darken highlights. Let me know what you think. Dr. Jim Nov 9th
24 Nov 19 Reply I found that the banding on the top left is difficult to correct, so I used the healing brush in Photoshop. The blue tinge is the actual color - shows up in HDR and dehazing. Dr. Jim. Nov 4th
24 Nov 19 Comment Sue, The textures of the track, grasses and trees reveal a great deal. I hope to get to Australia to walk it and feel it. You did very well in the post-processing to get all the details of foreground and distance. Well done. Dr. Jim Nov 1st
24 Nov 19 Comment Jim, I love the sweeping lines, textures and the way you evened out highlight and shadow in HDR. I admire your commitment to reach this isolated spot before sunrise to set up for it. Well done. Dr. Jim Nov 1st
24 Nov 19 Comment Laura, you did this at just the right moment. Your settings are optimal for this image because the stilt walker was keeping her balance and the child was posing. You don't need faster settings unless your subjects are moving faster.
I was a bit distracted by the bright blue, so I used the clone tool to remove it. A friend told me about an HDR program that works on one photo - Skylum/AuroraHDR. I got it and used it on your photo. Let me know if you like it. |

24 Nov 19 Comment Sam, I like the unique mood of this photo of the woman walking in the mist. Removing the road markings must have helped. I see negative space on the left side and was distracted by the drainage grate and sidewalk patch, so I cropped it and used Photoshop clone tool to take out the distractions. Let me know what you think. Dr. Jim Nov 1st
24 Nov 19 Comment Kumar, I had no idea that there was such a spectacular canyon in India. You carry the interest in the sky down the canyon to the foreground. You don't have harsh shadows which helps a lot. It seems that the focus is a bit soft throughout the photo, so I have no suggestions to bring out details except to suggest post processing sharpening (which is what I did in Photoshop using smart sharpen twice) Dr. Jim Nov 1st
