Theme: Autumn Acorns, again

[Christopher Miller]

Same photo that I posted in the desaturated forum, but different effect. For this, I took the tritone version and layered it over the color image using soft light blend mode at 60% opacity. I then duplicated the tritone layer setting the second one at normal blend mode at 50% opacity. I also applied the dry brush filter, upped the saturation a bit, and added a vignette. To see the tritone version, just click here.

like this version much better.....seems more dynamic and light sculptured.

Confusing color in LRC

[Christopher Miller]

Thanks Dave. The confusing color was because of a different colored leaf down in that corner. I've fixed it in this repost.

Christopher, You are getting really good at color toning an image! The effect is very subtle and it is most appealing.

I agree--I like this version, with warmer tones, better. Beautiful details. The vignette is a bit harsh for my tastes, and too square. Maybe a softer, rounder one?

Your repost rocks Chris...well done...:):cool:

Hey Christopher,
I do think you nailed it in the re-post....but what I like best as an instuctor...is that you are working your subject....you are not just satisfied taking 1 image and moving on.....you found something appealing and are working the subject and are making some excellent comps. Congrats!!! and very well done!

Thanks everyone! Greatly appreciate your comments. Anita, I'll try your suggestion on the vignette.
