Weekend Challenge 01/25

[mikemeister_admin]

Since you were all so dillgent in completing you images early this week I'm posting some images to give you something to do this weekend.

1) Airplane: The airplane image was taken near Hanksville Ut. See what you can do to brighten and get detail in the plane and keep the background clouds dark.
2) Crow: Bring out the detail in the crow.
3) This image is underexposed. Brighten the foreground (with detail) and keep the clouds a nice grey.
Thanks Joe S

I told you , I have less time spend each picture.
hEre is the crow.,
I did first shadow highligt 25 % the whoel picture.
After that used the quick selection tool on the crow and did again shadow hight light 50 % on the bird.
I think afterward the bird is to light.
When it is a raven, it should be nice black.
So bumping the colors in LAB and afgterwars correcting t omuch blue in the background.

so i am quick ready.

so the last one.
all pictures together i did in about 10 -15 minutes , I think.

in practice in the real world you take most often lots of pictures.
there must be a golden rule how to quickly improve your pictures without to use much time.
You could always spend more time for special pictures.
Could Mike learn us that also ?
