Original
It is time for Robyn’s One Four Challenge for February Week 2.
For this series I picked a photo I took of the Willamette Falls in Oregon City, Oregon. My the original photo is shown on the right. I chose this particular photo because I thought I could play around with the color of the water and clouds. Knowing me I will play around with cropping this photo during the next four weeks.
__________________________
Week 2 Version
I decided to crop it and show off the falls just a little bit. I kept it on the cooler side (blue tones). I hope you like what I did with this photo. I added a light layer of green over the hills and trees.
__________________________
Week 1 Version
As side from some standard edits, I added a couple of gradient layers. From the top of the photo down I added an orange layer which warmed up the clouds and made it look more like the sun setting or rising. From the bottom up I added a yellow layer which gave the Willamette River a lighter tint of the sky. Just think in this version I didn’t crop it.
I hope you like what I did for this photo.

I like the colours in this but do prefer the wide angle version.

That no doubt is the preferred version so far. Thanks Raewyn for your opinion 🙂

Me too. I won’t even think about it until I do the next one. 🙂 Although I’m thinking I might play around in photoshop and really change things up….which unlike what I usually do. Well see 🙂

This week – I’m working backward in time – is definitely my favorite. As I said in your fourth week post I like this best because it expresses the most drama in the photo. It looks like a sink hole to me! If you were to ask me what one change I would make to this, I’d crop it a little less to show slightly more of the river without showing as much of the original, just enough to show off the idea of the river draining into the hole!
Great shot all in all. 🙂 Oh yes and I do like the colors.

Now that is an idea. I take a good enough resolution, I could have done that. 🙂
