My turn...
This was taken few years back. Lucky took the photo using RAW.
Post processing wise, I increase the exposure and make use of the gradient tools.

thank you~ delinquentI love what you did to the ground. It looks so old, nice.
wah this one. from nothing into something. power.
Hey guys. Don't mind the model's 'chopped' hand. I'm just doing this for fun.

this is just b/w conversion... i dun see u playing with the tonality in the photo when converted to b/w, i believe everyone can also do this![]()
Definitely it can be just a simple B&W conversion and anyone can do it. But what I did was to improve the contrast and 'depth' of the clouds from the models. Both background and model are adjusted differently. As you can see the 1st pic is very flat and in the wrong WB. To directly convert to B&W, the model's skin would be darker, less details in the clouds and the foreground will be just flat. I know B&W is very subjective and hard to master. I'm still learning.
To enhance this in colour, well .. I just don't like the end result thts why I decided to do a b&w for this. (I can't find the emoticon icon!!)
Well though not much but let me share mine as well.

Hey bro. I don't mind at all. Its sharing session. Your DI not bad! Did you use curves or blending modes?
Your "after"in not bad of course but bro in my view u should make the boat is floating on the water, it seems the boat is above some kind of plain surface,it's ok u removed the dirts but your background needs some watery effect such as waves, the splashes.SamPaul said:Like it or not, I think post processing is very important to make the picture look nicer. However, it is not just about how to use the tools in the software, but also ideas in presenting the mode you want it to be. Like many other newbies, I know how to use some of the basic tools in photoshop but I hope to learn more. I think it’ll be good to learn from the experts here & get to see the pictures ‘before’ & ‘after’ the PP (Although some only believed in showing the best). Anyone willing to share? To kick start, I will post the 1st picture & hope to see more…
