Fall Color Pics

GraphyFotoz

I recently tweaked these up in CS2 now that I know it a LOT better than 2yrs ago.
These are from 2005 (Taken locally) from a backup CD.

Just thought I'd share em and see what ya think?

Nice shots, Graphy! Great colors! I like the compositions of the first and third the most - the mid one is kind of bland in that regard.

Looks like you're finding your way with PS. Some details: The first one appears to have some Chrom Aberr along the foliage of the trees on the right (cyan), either that, or there was a problem with a selection along that area. Also, the cloud in the middle of the sky seems to have lost detail in the bright area.

I'd like to see the third one a tad darker overall, with the sky being darkened more to create a more dramitic effect. What do you think?

Now that I look at it more your right.
The 1st one(The Pond) fixed the Chrom Aberr (purple hue) but the cloud I can't seem to tone down.
I took these with my Sony 828 which was know for a Chrom Aberr problems...I had a lot of problems with purple in my shots with it!
3rd one fixed the sky and the overall brightness.
Hows this?

I really like the rich, saturated colours.

I like them all, especially the first one! You don't see anything like this in Florida. (But we have the birds!)

I like the 3rd a lot more - I think it has more "punch" without losing its peaceful feeling. How 'bout you?

I still see some cyan on the upper edge of those branches. There was a "fix" for purple CA on one of these forums - don't recall which. Only way I know at the moment is the raw converter (assuming it was raw in the first place:D ). Anyone know of a cheap fix for red/cyan chrom aberr? That's what shows up the most with my canon lenses.

If this was a jpg that could detail is probably a goner - but you could patch some in with the patch tool in CS - this works pretty well to take out overblown cloud hilights. Let me know if you're not sure how to do that.

Dane

No purple CA with my Sigy's.
Was that darn Sony 828 I had...seems some PPL had it and some didn't.
I got it a lot for some reason....that and close shots of building were all warpy look'in.
NICE P&S but I'll never go back now.....Canon Rulz!!!:D

I'll play with that pond shot somemore and see what I can do.
