PP: Basic Level, Burn & Dodge
I saw this pix in FB and automatically attracted to the scene but feel wasted that tonality and contrast was not up to what I like (it doesn’t mean good).
Original image
It’s nothing wrong with the image but I feel it was a bit underexposed and the freshness of the green was not there.
So I feel itchy to PP it.
Based on what I see, I just need to level it.
Use the higlight and shadow marker and point to the appropriate point on the image! Viola.. the shadow and highlight is optimum and the contrast seems better now.
To make it better, I know that I must bring out the green to make it fresh and inviting.
I minimally apply Dodge and/or Burn, about 10%, so that I won’t coincidently overdo it.
And the final image…
There it goes. A quick and dirty editing with less than 5 mins (or possibly lesser).
Thanks to Syamsul Ismail for allowing me to edit his pix. Look more of his work here.
