Neoxian City Photo Challenge: Among the LeavessteemCreated with Sketch.

Hello guys!

This is my entry to the Neoxian City Photo Challenge. The week's theme is Autumn.

This post is also a new episode of my STEP2STEEM initiative. The name comes from the union of step to step on the steem blockchain. This is a simple initiative with which I'll explain what I make when I post-produce a shot that I took with my smartphone.

Above, the original photo. I took it by smartphone last weeks in the Marinella's Estate (Liguria, Italy)

In the first step, I brighter the brightener colors of the image. I utilize a simple curve levels on a duplicate of the original pic and I adjusted the level's opacity.

Then, I slightly darkened the middle tones and shifted the black point of the pic.
At the moment, my adjustments aren't yet very visible.

In the next, I increased the reds in the brighter points of the image, the magenta in the black points and added a level with which I decreased both sharpness and noise on the trees' zone.

Here, more steps.
I added a rudimentary brightness mask to enhance the contrast of the middle tones and the brighter colors of the leaves.
Then, I applied the right fantasy effect on the image. A Blue-green Color Change: increasing the blues in the darker colors and the greens in the rest of the image.

So, I added a slight light vignetting in the upper half and a slight dark vignetting in the lower half of the pic. In conclusion, I added a new level to obtain a faint washed-out effect.


So, if you like my post and you want, get me feedback. If you were interested in my images, I create with them some simple illustrations, t-shirt designs or covers to sell. If you wish to contact me, write in the comment section. I will reply as soon as possible.
