So here we are in week 2 of the One Four Challenge and I am simply adding the colour back in, having gone for the black and white version in Week 1.
Why not have a go at the One Four Challenge itself, it is so easy to try and will really help to develop processing skills. Of course you could simply just have a tour of Robyn’ fine site anyway.

Now to start thinking on the process for week 3.
Love the color and texture.

At the moment I am only taking part in the One Four Challenge – it just requires one photo a month and then lots of different edits ๐

Editing is fun! Really fun! Love doing that. I always edit the pictures I publish! (almost every picture)
I only join WPC, and try to post at least one photo a week, sometimes two. If I publish more, I consider it a bonus. And is not necessarily related to WPC

This is such an appealing image john. Id love to be standing there. The textural detail and vibrance are wonderful and I do like that sky.
We really are learning new things along the way with this challenge – love that ๐

Great image and composition. I like the HDR look mentioned by others… the sky is dramatic too.

One reader felt that the clouds took away from the image in the b/w, but I personally love them. The tree on the far left is an important piece of the composition IMHO. Thank you for taking the time to comment Karen, really appreciated. MM ๐

Hi John, I think I am with Ben on this one. This colour image brings out the textures more and does have an HDR look about it.. Nice shot ๐

I think I like the colour more than last weeks. Has a slightly HDR feel with the contrast and texture esp in the sentries. Very nice.

Thanks Ben. It is partly why I started the series with the B/w version. This packs more punch IMO. Cheers, John

Thank you very much Sarah. It was a difficult one to get a good angle on due to people and signs etc

Hi MM, I quite like the saturation in this version. Looks like you brought all the colours back in one hit! Looking forward to the next edit!

Cheers, more l;likely to have used a touch of vibrance than saturation, which I tend to avoid. I did select blue and reduce its luminescence, getting the darker sky. MM ๐
