yeah, for the appilcations you do, I understand. street photography does not need much post processing. the critical moment is when you press the shutter.
However, it does not hurt to learn some at the side, right?
最初由 fad 发布 I think you are wrong. My PS skill is not ordinary, it's below ordinary.
阿瓜's version would work better if you include more audience on the bottom and and also more fireworks in the sky (yes I know I asked for too much). But no doubt he did a better PS job.
Fad, I actually liked your version better than Agua's. Here is why. This photo was originally taken for my fairytale study. I liked the scene. and the time was just right. However, what I did not expect was the vivid color it turned out. It was undesirable for a fairtale composition. So I had to desaturate it. However, the vivid colors make this photo stands by its own, without any serious manipulation. Your version kept the vivid colors, which is really one of the highlights of this photo. Agua missed it, he went to a wrong route, in my opinion.
you can see this scene from nearly everywhere around Ottawa. really, fall is near, country all looks like this. well, not exactly as shown in photo, though.
here is the original. just in case you are going to hunt for this scene for years and years.
