For edited Flowers I first converted original image to a smart layer. Added Poster edges smart layer (Edge thickness: 8; Edge intensity: 4; Posterization: 0). Then Used the paintbrush tool to make the flower back to its original look. Added a lighting effect to make the real looking flower stand out more. Then added text overtop all layers. For the edited Lincoln Memorial I added levels adjustment layer. Used multiply blending mode. Masked to make the color look better in the sky and on the memorial using the paintbrush tool. Then added text over top all layers.
The shot of the Lincoln Memorial is exquisite. The original was pretty, but the edited photo is truly breathtaking. I like the angle of the shot and also how you were able to make the sky so bright.
ReplyDeleteThese edits really had a great effect on the photos. The addition of the text adds a nice finished and professional look. You did well with matching the feel of both of the photos. The sky in the DC photo is awesome. You're a great photographer.
ReplyDeleteI liked the good job you did on the first on it really looked like some of it was drawn.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the Lincoln Memoral is amazing. Original seems like a bad shot because of the lighting, but with your adjustment layers you really brought out the building and made all the colors in the shot more vivid. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI really like what your D.C. picture, it looks very clean and simple.-Amanda Strong
