LG Creek
PLEASING: 1. focal point 2 men, contrasting with surroundings on color (red), tone (white), & shape (human)
2. 2 men are center of interest -- what are they doing? what is their relationship?
3. sweet spot based on best composition
4. edges of foreground reeds & first pond lead to men, left & right
5. blocks applied in PS; see below
COLOR: mostly brown/green, some blue, bits of red & white
Increased contrast pulling in both blacks & whites (Levels)
Increased midtones (Curves) masking out white shirt & edges to apply visual blocks
Increased color intensity (H/S) for focal point & foreground
Tried sharpening; it detracted, not added.
