Silhouette at Sunset

Uploaded: May 08, 2012

Description

A. Mostly grays (orange-gray clouds w/ blue-gray sky, some black, and a bit of white (clouds).
B. Workflow and photoshop tools:
1. Used Levels to adjust black and white tones.
2. Adjusted overall midtones using Curves.
3. Used Color Balance tool to balance yellow cast in the clouds by adjusting blue/cyan hues.
I wanted to emphasize the red/orange sunset colors.
4. The tree silhouette framing is subtly completed by applying eye control with Brightness/Contrast tool.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
