"Convergence" (14)
Gix Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Note Writer [C: 635 W: 1 N: 765] (3559)
Another shot from the Alpago mountains.
What i found interestig was the 'convergence' of all the lines: the path, the bridge, the profile of two mountains, the 's' of the water in the creek, the cyclist(!) all in one single point, on the left side in center.
Technically i'm not satisfied with the shadows (the wooden is too dark & it's a bit worse with only 800pix) so i have tryed a WS, but even the result is not 'natural'...

contrast + saturation
Edited by:cessy Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 2257 W: 99 N: 2341] (13569)

What I did only :
1. slightly adjust the contrast by : duplicate layer, desaturate, invert, overlay, adjust opacity
2. increase a little bit saturation

I have tryed to correct the excess of darkness of the shadows (in particular the wooden). The corrections are separated, zone for zone. Even so, i'm not to satisfied because the result is not enough 'natural'. You can see yourself
