Crop, contrast masking, colour balance

Although I really liked the original composition, I felt that the main element - the corridor - was too central, so I cropped to put things into more thirds/diagonal positions.
I used Contrast Masking (NewLayerViaCopy/Desaturate/Invert/BlurGaussian 19px/MergeModeOverlay100%) to bring out some more shadow detail.
Then I used colour balance to increase the amount of yellow slightly to warm the images (5 towards Yellow).
Finally applied USM (52%, 0.8px, 0) to the brightness channel in LABcolor to bring out a little more fine detail.
Just a suggestion :-) |
