Hi Abhijit Kar Gupta,
Just loved the colours, but thought a tighter crop would suit your picture better,
I use software called Photoimpact.
Pretty much all i did was crop your picture, adjusted gamma down in the brightness & contrast and that was pretty much it.
Hope these slight adjustments are okay,

My regards again,
David

Hi Maria,
as i said, i thought cropping down the shot would help the overall image-i didn't think the sky added much.
1: Cropped down the shot.
2:Sharpened by about 8%.
3:Altered the tone a little using tonemap.
4:added a frame to give the idea of a wide footbal pitch.
Hope this is okay Maria?-i was bored!
All regards, David Cortez.

Hi Lucy, i just thought it was a shame that the horizon wasn't quite level & it was lacking a little sharpness.
Hope you don't mind.
1-i straightened the image by a few degrees.
2-Sharpened by around 10%
3-Adjusted the contrast a little to bring the colours.

Regards, David.

Hiya Ellis, i did read your intro about not adjusting photos...but i was bored & thought i would sharpen ,crop this shot & add a frame just to show the potential of your work.
I hope you don't think i am trying to better your shot...just give my impression.
Hope you don't mind.
David Cortez ;P

Hello Asan, just a few clicks in Photoimpact.
1> sharpened by around 8%.
2>altered midtone, and highlight.
3>Made frame a bit smaller to give more of a panoramic effect.
Hope this fits with your memory of Bursa Asan.

Hiya Jean, just one or two clicks in photoimpact10.
1:Sharpened by around 7%.
2:raised the contrast about 5%.
3:Altered brightness 5%.
Not a massive difference, but i think it brings out a little more sharpness to the foliage.
Hope this is ok.
David.
