From my October walkabout. I really didn't think I had anything for the free study. I have taken so many autumn themed photos this month, I decided to put in an entry that captures my month. I hope people don't get upset that I have already shown a similar edit.
I really like this darker and more crisp edit.
CS2 for RAW conversion. Upped sharpness, modified the exposure and white balance. Opened image in Elements 3 - noise ninja, no hue/saturation adjustment, and no further levels adjustment. Cropped to size, cloned out a few leaves in the foreground, cloned out a small fall ornament and the mailbox. Dodged and burned on road. Save for web. USM at small radius. Save
