Re-create - I'll Play

[Ed Vatza]

without reading any rules. Here's my attempt. Wasn't in a whitish mood.



Oops, Guess I was supposed to include workflow.

1) Cropped image to eliminate the background and create a square comp.
2) In Lightroom, I boosted exposure just a tad and did the same with blacks.
3) Then I also kicked up clarity and vibrance a notch until I liked how the original image looked.
4) Sent the image on into CS4 where I ran it through Topaz Adjust, Detail and Simplify.
5) Back in Lightroom, I found I needed to kick up recovery to return some details to the blues.
6) Voila!

Very nice Ed! I like your choice of colors,crop and effect...

[Dave Phillips]

very nice color effect.....I find my eye wanting to continually wander to the top.
"may" need a bit cropped off up there, but ONLY my preference

Beautiful job Ed! I like the color pop and the effects created. Thankyou very much for the workflow-That's what this exercise is all about-sharing ideas and getting some good tips!!

I really like your color choices. The complementary orange and blue with colors in between really pop.
