Original by Katie Prior of Drawing with Light Blog

I really like this photo and I did not crop it for a change. Some of the major steps I took for this photo are:

I took out the closet couple who were walking the wall. I liked just the one couple far away.
Used a few different gradient layers to get the coloring the way I wanted it.
Brought up the exposure a little bit.

Editing was done in both Adobe Bridge and Nik Software.

Really nice edit Cee, you have extracted lots of detail and added a softness as well.

Great edit Cee. I love the beautiful, bright colours, they give a total different feel to the image, it has a sunnier, more positive feel. 🙂

Cee, I love the golden hue you gave the stonework. It really seems to emphasize the texture. And getting rid of that firs couple was a smart thing to do, they distract from the mood of the piece. Overall, a great job!

Removing the one couple seems like such an obvious choice, now that I’ve seen it! Really does help to accentuate the leading line of the wall. And I like the pastel look you gave it, Cee. The scene now looks more early spring than late fall or early winter 🙂

    I agree. I was going to enter and did alter the pic, but without photoshop, my alterations were a bit basic.
