colors-castelluccio

[Valerio Tarone]

NikonD600 Tokina 16-50 at 48mm f5,6 1/125 iso200 wb:sunny RGB in PP(i can't well remember) levels, curves, saturation, sharpness
selfcritic: beatiful colors, longitudinal lines,but it lack a an anchor or a FG point.
Critics,comments..

[Morkel Erasmus]

I like the lines and colours, but the highlights are clipped and colours oversaturated, losing detail...
Perhaps reprocessing from RAW can save it?

[Valerio Tarone]

Ok,Morkel, here we are.

[Valerio Tarone]

perhaps still oversaturated, but in Postproduction I gave only +2 in saturation. i managed strongly on the curve. Do you think it's lacking a Fg or an anchor point?

[Morkel Erasmus]

Hi Valerio - I don't mind the layering here without a FG element, but do still feel it's overcooked as the saturation jars my eyes.
Perhaps some colour balance to address particularly the yellow would help?

Hi Valerio.

I'm with Morkel... The composition looks ok to me but it almost needs to be put in the 'out of the box' forum at presented.. its too tough on my old eyes.. too bright and saturated, oversharp... sorry...

Hi Valerio - Sorry but I have to agree with Morkel and Don on this one.

TFS,

[Valerio Tarone]

learned not to exaggerate with P.P.
I'been working only on levels, and sharpness in UnsharpMask, no saturation.
Thank you.

[Don Lacy]

The last repost is the best but I still think your over all tones are to bright, I do like the layered effect of the different colors.

[Andrew McLachlan]

As Don said...the last repost is best one so far but still too bright :)

[Don Lacy]

This is were I would go with the image if it was mine. also how much sharpening did you do the image is a little to crisp

[Valerio Tarone]

thank you Don, I realize you also cropped some parts.
