Took this one while in VA Beach for a wedding this spring. Went for a walk behind the inn where we were staying, and stumbled upon this fountain at Regent University. Comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.
This is just such a cool looking image I hope you don't mind that I downloaded it and did some Shadow/Highlight adjustment to it.
On BG copy, S/H adjustment as 50/25/030 shadows, nothing for highlights and +15 mid-tones. I then created a mask and painted black over the lights and cloned out a hot-spot on the left next to the street light. The cloning is you prerogative.
I think the S/H adjustment really makes the image bold by providing more details in the shadows.
I like the composition a lot - it is well balanced. Nice work seeing the possibilities here and making such a pleasing image.
Robert, thanks for taking the time to tweak on it and sharing exactly what you did. I adjusted the shadows and highlights a touch when I worked it up, but couldn't quite find a combination thatI liked. The redo you posted was great. Thank y'all again for your input and the kind words.
Great tweaking Robert Do like the way the building look In these type I find keeping the original feel important and all of it has been preserved !!!!!
