Out on the hills last winter

[Silverz]

One of my very first photo's I took.

I had a play about with it in photoshop and i think it came out looking ok.

I think it came out looking great. A quality picture enhanced by clever editing, well done, Silverz. I agree this should be viewed larger in flickr to fully appreciate how good it is

[Kimmy]

Well I think it turned out great also especially with it being one of your first photographs

For comparison, here is the 'before' shot.

It just shows how much photoshop can help out

Wow, that's quite a difference! Care to share some of the edits you performed?

I am a bit low on time to write a detailed explanation but I will upload the psd file if you wanted to check it out.

Most of the work was done using curves and hue/saturation layers.
I added the golden brown colours and changed the contrast and saturation for the colour overlays using various adjustment layers and opacitys so that some of the original colour was showing.
