On the picture page I was kinly asked by wavelength if I could create a walk-through on this piece. Seeing as it wasn't much I figured I might as well write it up. Hope you enjoy & I'm looking for a DPC mentor as I've never taken a photography class in my life! Any help is appreciared :) Let's start:
Image 1: The original, duplicate x 2.
Image 2: Conversion to B/W. Adjust levels, Play with Contrast, Use Dodge & Burn selectively.
Image 3: Apply Blur brush in background, sharpen brush in foreground, use stamp to remove any items which you'd like (in this case the raft).
Image 4: Apply Gradient Overlay to put emphasis on foreground
Image 5: Use 2nd duplicate of original, gaussian blur, adjust color balance & contrast (might want to do step 7 first in order to see your changes as you do them)
Image 6: Apply Gradient Overlay to put emphasis on foreground
Image 7: Apply the layer style Multiply to the color layer
Image 8: Final PS Structure.
It's a short walkthrough, but there also isn't much to do :) You should be able to do all this in 15 minutes. Hope you liked it and feel free to post any questions below (or even show your results)!
