Edit Me An Image #12 - December 10

The Bronze Age

One last effort with editing the whole piece.

These editing exercises are always fun, I'm sorry I missed out on the first 11. Here's my take on this one with Lightroom. B&W felt like the way to go here...

Here's an edit starting from the RAW. Trying to keep a reasonably natural appearance and provide a version that's not so heavy handed with the sliders :-)
Just made some tone curve manipulation to bring some aspects more to life. And, now that the building work is finally finished, they've managed to remove those cranes :-)

I left the old and the new parts as they are, no major cropping,... just evened up the brightness a bit to give the darker castle a fairer chance to grab your attention against the big, new, shiny glass world.
The brighter path with all the people, in front of the castle, works nicely to underline the castle wall better

Ok, no more submissions. One day to vote then we announce a winner and pass the baton!

And this week's winner is..Minniev with 6 votes!

So I pass the baton to Minnieve, and am sure she will find us an interesting challenge!

I will comment on the submissions, and show my version but Minnieve can go right ahead and get us started for the new week's contest.

I think Minniev's was a pretty original take on my image, and the treatment suited to the crop.

I also liked very much Maoby's take, and Fireplace33's more natural version. Special mention to ErikWithaK for the B&W .

My version is this, perhaps a little too "pimped"

Thank you all and I'll post a new one in the next few minutes. Have you ever visited Havana?
