My post-processing options

Привет/Hello/Servus/Saludo, друзья

After writing an addendum to the final post, I decided to publish it in a separate post (who reads the old posts ... :)
Especially since there is an option here that echoes the next task.

You also remember that the task of the contest was to select significant objects for further post-processing and the processing itself. I assumed that you can select an object not only by cutting off unnecessary objects. It can stand out in size, color, brightness, contrast and other visual parameters.

My first result is this. I wanted to get an early foggy morning. Especially early it could not turn out because of the nature of the shadows, but in autumn the sun does not rise too high. Therefore, we will consider this morning early.

And let this morning be foggy. Yes, the fog is starting to rise, but it still hides the perspective. And on a floating pier (and this is a pantone pier), two beginnings are arguing among themselves. Or maybe they're just talking... it's up to the viewer to decide. It's up to him to decide who these characters symbolize.

And now about the post-processing methods.
At first, I still removed the "extra" objects by cropping and, of course, leveled the horizon.
You may notice that I haven't changed any of the basic settings (all the sliders are in their places). I didn't need to work with the entire field of photography, but only with those parts that I wanted to change.
To do this, I used two filters: gradient and correction brush. With their help, I highlighted the areas where I wanted to make image correction. In the selected zones there are all these "sliders" with their correction functions.
I changed the sharpness in these zones, making it lower
In addition, I used the "remove haze" option exactly the opposite. I did not remove, but enhanced the haze and thus imitated the morning fog.
In general, this is almost everything. You can observe the result.

Теперь о способах постобработки.
Вначале я всё же убрал "лишние" объекты способом обрезки и конечно, выровнял горизонт.
Вы можете заметить, что я не изменил ни одной базовой настройки (все ползунки стоят на своих местах). Мне требовалось работать не со всем полем фотографии, а лишь с теми частями, которые я хотел изменить.
Для этого я использовал два фильтра: градиентный и кисть коррекции. С их помощью я выделил те зоны, где хотел сделать коррекцию изображения. В выделенных зонах есть все эти "ползунки" с их функциями коррекции.
Я изменил резкость в этих зонах, сделав её более низкой
Кроме того я использовал опцию "удаление дымки" с точностью до наоборот. Я не удалял, а усиливал дымку и таким образом имитировал утренний туман.
В общем, это практически всё. Результат вы можете наблюдать.

The second post-processing option creates a bridge to the next task. Therefore, I will not describe the details of processing in the monochrome style yet.
By composition... I found the combination of iconic architecture with ordinary urban architecture interesting. Therefore, I have highlighted only a small fragment of the photo.
For me, there are earthly and heavenly beginnings here, horizontality with verticality.
From this plot, the idea was born to translate all this into monochrome and "age it a little."

I invite everyone to participate in our next tour.
