I adjusted contrast, saturation, and hint to make this beautiful composition more attractive.
What do you think?

1. Selected specific areas with the lasso tool and adjusted the contrast.

2. Burnt the grass foreground slightly.

I enhanced the whole scene and like the other workshop, did a sharpening as well.

Hope you like it...

Although a nicely composed original image, I felt the image needed a bit of tinkering to give it more depth and strength.
I first altered the shadows to give them more strength which i think improves he 3D feel of the shot.
Next I altered the contrast to give the blue and green more strength which again I think it adds something to the power of this super landscape.
TFS
I hope you like my alterations.

Hi Paul,

Your original looks really nice but I wanted to do some small adjustments. I did following things in PS:
- Auto contrast
- Added a bit saturation and darkened mid-tones, too
- Added black frame
- Sharpened by smart sharpen
I hope you find it useful.
Cheers!

Add more color and shadow, crop from bottom and framed

I correct in Photoshop the perspective. Hope to like you!

Hi Paul,

I didn't want to change the composition in any way, but I noticed that the file size was only 55k. I've got a Nikon D70 myself and notice that it comes back with a grey tinge to all but the most brightly lit photos. Didn't seem to suit a all white sausage shop though.

I used Adobe Photoshop PS to narrow the levels in the photo, bringing the right side up for brightness, but also lowering on the left side to avoid being washed out. I also used the Unsharp mask on it at 120%, radius 1.8, threshhold 3. Just enought to make his whiskers clear. I think I could have went sharper yet, but thought you may prefer a softer look. I noticed that your original was jut 55K. I saved at a higher resolution when done. You might think about upping the resolution on your jpegs when shooting. You can always squeeze them down later, but it's tougher to get back fine detail afterwards.

Anyway, none of this is to say that it wasn't a fine photo to begin with. I like very much and hope you don't mind the ws.

since there is nothing there to add to your composition. then i turned to lab color and messed around with levels/curves. also, i blurred the background (very easy, once it´s well defined) to make the colors more diffuse and sharpened a little bit the men´s clothes.
the aim was to enhance both men in the foreground.
hope you like it.

turned to lab color and played with levels and curves. also, i dodged both faces and only faces.
sharpened twice (not sure it´s better) coz i would like to enhance the lines in the woman´s face.
the original light - due to the latitude of the country - is rather hard to work with.
hope i haven´t betrayed your original idea.
thanks for the opportunity.
