More Draganizing!

[ccallana]

After the thread on Draganizing, I thought I'd post one of my own...

Here is a poppy I shot a few weeks ago - did some basic adjustments in Lightroom for exposure, contrast, etc.... nothing real fancy...




Now here is one after using a preset downloaded from http://inside-lightroom.com/cp.php - I think I used Dragan 5 on this one, but I forget... the preset changes almost all the sliders in Lightroom



Then I adjusted it a bit, since Dragan usually comes out pretty dark, I wanted it a bit lighter... you can do this by uping exposure, adding fill flash, or several other methods...

I think its a very cool effect. Maybe its just my love of nature, but I'm a bit more a fan of the full color shot, which is magnificent by the way!

Dragan is a nice phot style but I think it should be applied to human forms or places. Nature diserves all the color we can give it in the photographys, so I like more the original shot, but that is just my opinion.
