Last Year's Photo

Photo a Day, 11 April 2006...
Best viewed in oringal
A shadow I noticed this morning and played around with it in Photoshop. I couldn't decide which I liked better...
Oringal shot (center) has only had some sharpening nothing else.
Selective Color (left) used color range (SELECT > COLOR RANGE) to select just the green leaves and then using channel mixer to create b/w (will automatically apply the color range as a mask if done in right after color range - invert (CTRL-I) to get the effect of changing the bg vice the leaves) then added a Hue/Sat layer clipped to the Channel mixer layer to give sepia tone (clipping to the channel mixer layer prevents changes to the greens - hold down ALT and click between the two layers in the Layers Palette).
Watercolor (right) applied a watercolor filter to the selective color image.
The title font is a new one from P22 called Allyson

ACR, Resize, Masked channel mixing (b/w), Hue/Sat (toning), Watercolor filter, Framing, Sharpening - Photoshop CS2 (read above)

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
1/80s f/3.5 at 40.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

It is hard to decide, as each shows details the others don't. The effect of the three of them, side by side makes for an interesting print.

Think I like the left one best, sounds pretty complicated though to a photoshop newbie. Well done.

Why choose. I like all three and the three together.

Great time playing, I see 8^D I like the middle one bestest, altho it loses some of the bg shadowing... They're all good ~
