Valparaiso Bay

[richardpsic]

Hi everybody, I want to share another of my favorites shots, I took this one at the city of Valparaiso, in my Country Chile that I leave almost one year ago. Playing in PS CS2 with brightness and contrast, shadows and lights, unsharpen mask filters, channels... I got this cool picture (don't ask me for the exacts steps on this one because I made it a log time ago). So what do you think?

i definitely love the "after". the sky looks great and the colors are much better and sharper. good job

[timkoo]

Good job, except I think you lost some color in the 'after'

Love how the detail cam out, but I'm not too sure right now if it is a little too harsh looking or not..

the second image is much sharper and the sky is most certainly more dramatic. I think, a job well done

I like both of them - the second one has a great edge but it looks unnatural as a photograph - meaning it looks processed. But I like it that way
