ABOUT THE PHOTO

I took this photo in Morocco some weeks ago in the beautiful oasis valley Tinghir. I loved the lush green gardens with the mud-brick houses and the Atlas mountains in the background, but unfortunately, the light was not the best, so I put all my hopes in your post-processing magic!

The HDR look is interesting :)

zirensparvg (41) · 7 years ago

here's my take on the photo ^o^

this one's extremely difficult!

$0.00

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

It's certainly not an easy image to edit, but you managed it! Love the panorama crop and the colours are interesting

$0.00

zirensparvg (41) · 7 years ago

this one honestly gave me an extreme headache! xD
am glad you like the colors
^o^

$0.00

viking-ventures (69) · 7 years ago

I did my usual edits plus a couple of hits of "color enhance" to bring out the natural beauty of the area. I didn't want to crop out the people or the river, so I left it as is.

$0.00

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

Wow, looks very clear!

$0.00

viking-ventures (69) · 7 years ago

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. It was a fun picture to play with.

I love the warm colour that you gave to the houses and the gradient on the sky!

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

Wow, I was just wonder how did she do that? :D I love the warm colours and the the clouds you added (although I spotted a little too soft corner on the mountains) :)

$0.00

r00sj3 (61) · 7 years ago

haha, still learning how to soften the hard edges just right ;)

$0.00

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

I am no better, that's why I am mostly too lazy to open Photoshop and stick with Lightroom :D

$0.00

r00sj3 (61) · 7 years ago

I have not touched Lightroom yet, so don't know if that would be easier or harder. But since I ran into the issue that I want to have different effects on different areas and my original tool didn't do the trick (and I wanted to do a spiderman edit in week 6) I had to (re-)teach myself photoshop. And I am super competitive so I don't want to do what everyone else seems to be doing ;)

$0.00

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

Lightroom is just so much faster than Photoshop for normal edits with a good workflow, I can do a quick Lightroom edit in one minute and a decent one in less than five minutes. For RAWs, Lightroom is so much better to use than CameraRAW. Also, Lightroom is not just an editing tool, but also fantastic for managing a catalogues of photos. Since Adobe is offering a comparably "cheap" (still super expensive!) photography bundle that includes both programs I am still using Photoshop once in a while because you can't add clouds or unicorns in Lightroom!

$0.00

r00sj3 (61) · 7 years ago

They should create an Adobe Rainbow app that drops unicorns anywhere you like ;)

$0.00

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

I heard there is an Adobe Unicorn app.. But nobody has ever seen it so it might just be a legend :D

Looks not over-edited, just some better colours, I like it!

asgarth (58) · 7 years ago

Another great shot. I decided to go with a b&w edit focusing in the middle of the frame.

Finally a B&W edit :D Interesting!

$0.00

nkera (56) · 7 years ago

Hi,
At first I started with b&w. I though it might be nice to go for the contrast there. But, then I realised I have a fairly nice opposites in the grass and the houses / mountains. So i decided to emphasise those...

Hope you like,
Cheers.

Good eye there, I like what you did to the colours!

matt.why.not (41) · 7 years ago

I can't exactly say why but I found this photo hard to edit, just couldn't find the way that I would be satisfied with the edit, and finished with something like this:

$0.00

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

I found it very challenging to edit myself, I guess it is because of the light

$0.00

matt.why.not (41) · 7 years ago

Yeah, but still it's a challenge right? :D Bigger challenge make us think more about getting good effect :)

My take. I was drawn to the city itself:

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

Great crop and strong colours!

$0.00

jarvie (70) · 7 years ago

I think this helps direct more attention down to the ladies walking and the cool fields.

$0.00

jpphotography (70) · 7 years ago

That's a great panoramic crop!
