Hi Bogdan
I did it, but I'm not quite satisfied with my WS
to your photograph. But the idea was changing the
colours to black & white because it doesn't help the photo in the case.
In most cases, industrial and "works" photos, look
better in B&W.

The techniqe:
Converted to B&W (with the use of mix channel), added a bit "grain", border, and so on.

Regards
John

Hi Alex

I think, that the clay has brownish colour ...,
so I've changed it.
Firstly I've converted the photo to grayscale and then to duotone. I changed
orientation of the photo, applyed levels,
a bit of blur and so on ...

Hope you find it interesting and useful
John

Unfortunately I haven't got the original photograph. It would be easier and probably the result would be much better ...

...

Corrections in PS (just in colours and levels)

this is not b&w
was converted to grayscale, duotone,
then resized and so on

Hi
Sorry za zabawę - jutro wykasuję, chyba że Ci się ta szybka przeróbka spodoba.
Generalnie myślę, iż kierunek który obrałaś jest bardzo dobry, jeżeli chodzi o obróbkę tego zdjęcia i dobranie opakowania.
Mnie nie podobają się detale (np czarna pikselówka pomiędzy zdjęciem a białym obramowaniem, a brak jej gdzie indziej), ale zdjęcie generalnie ma jakiś czar i wdzięk.
Trzymaj się ...

The eye of God

This is an enormous monument (a bust) of God. A different view.

Hi Julia

It's always nice to see a beautiful woman, especially wearing elegant clothes :-)
Well done Julia.

However I see a little too few sharpness and contrast in the photograph.
I've made a quick Workshop to your photograph.
What did I?
1) a bit of contrast, sharpness and levels (using masks)
2) cropped the picture
3) added a delicate black frame

Tha's all
I hope you like it and find it interesting and useful.
Greetings
Mirek

Hi Fred

Welcome TE :-)
You've captured a very beautiful moment in the mysterious place. What is the place? There is very few information about it in the Photographer's Note. I think, you should improve it (expand it) :-)

Despite of "the lack of light" you've managed to capture the mood, but you could have done it better, in my opinion.

In my Workshop to your photograph I've tried to change some things. First of all the parpective ...

What did I ?
Technique in PSCS3:
1) correction of colour, contrast, levels,
2) using free transform tool changed the perspective
3) cropped the picture
4) added Depth Of Field (DOF)
5) other less important
6) added small black frame

Hope you find it interesting and useful,
and I'm waiting for the more information about this Temple

Regards
Mirek

Hi Abdalrhem

You've created a very cute photograph, with a very good
composition there, but in my opinion it lacks a bit of contrast, and sharpness. What a pity !
Still, I mean that there is a great potential in this picture.
I've made a WS to your photograph. I've tried to improve it a bit (contrast - first of all) but it was
difficult.
Maybe having the original of photography it would be easier.
Regards
Mirek
