Week 6 Example 2 Pagoda of the five Concubines

[kessi]

With this image I created a pivot point on the gutter on the roof, did the martian bit, and toned it down with the K mask. I found the soil too yellow so I set a hue clock and curved the yellow curve in the a channel to move toward red.
Lightened the picture and I quite like it now.

I meant the yellow in the b channel and nudged the red in the a channel.

Kessi,
Way to push the color around...

Try out the ACV file i have attached.  It does two things....

1) Opens the shadows a bit..the image is high key enough that it can handle the change pretty well.
2) Tone down the Green in the A channel a bit...it is too for lack of a better word...

I see what you did to get more light onto the big tree and make the green less 'irish'.
Here is my version.

Again,  I think you have got this one figured out...

these are pretty subjective images and your interpretation is quite well done this time around...not so fake looking in the trees.
