Before and After Shots...

[timtam]

Thought we could use a thread to show off what work you have done (through PS or whatever) to dramatically change how a pic looks. What's the biggest changes you've done?

i'll start..... this shot was taken at midday (hence the title 'noonlight') and I wanted it to be night time, with a 'jack the ripper' feel

Good job, gives the picture a feel which was lacking in the first. love the yellow lights.

pretty interesting. i like how you gave the lamps a little glow.

I agree the image looks better, but I think the glow around the lights is distracting. I think this lamps themselves would look good yellow but the glow outside the lamps makes it look too 2 dimensional. Desaturate the yellow on the trees around the lamps and it will look much better in my opinion.

I like that you lit the lamps up, but I think there's got to be a better way to do it. Something to give it more of a glow.

I did the same thing recently, the front lamp was lit and the back wasn't. I don't think I did a great job, and the picture isn't all that nice, but it's more of a halo, you know?
