Congratulations Hilary Hann
Giraffe dreaming
The original of this image was taken on a gloomy day, no contrast … muddy, horrible and the only thing going for it was the 3 giraffe on the horizon. So I thought it was a good image to have a first attempt at the OOTB forum because I couldn't make it worse.
I have separated the foreground, giraffes and background so that I could increase saturation and contrast in differing amounts using levels, curves and masking. I used a warming filter (81), diffuse glow filter and a sandstone texture. I think that is all. I tried lots of different things, deleting and retrying and forgot to write down all the steps.
Comments appreciated.
