And now, I shall engage in a feat of thread necromancy by bringing this thread BACK FROM THE DEAD. Dun dun dun!
Okay, more seriously... I've been going back and revisiting some of my older shots, re-processing them with post-processing techiques I have either learned since then or improved my use of. In this case, I took the 'Car by Night' shot and color-corrected the image, sharpened it and tweaked a few areas individually.
In particular, I focused in bringing out details in the bushes behind the car, and in bringing out the deep blue color of the twilight sky (and carrying that color through to the water).
This brings us from the original shot (as linked in the first page of this thread)...
...to this...
Just goes to show, even old shots should sometimes be revisited; sometimes, you can breathe new life into them.
