Sigh - I got DQ for this one as I SAID that I added vignetting. I did not know it was illegal, did not see that in the basic editing rules... It has been added to the rules now though which is great for future participants although I am a little sad having that come up!!!
As a matter of fact though, I did add only a slight vignetting to the image, (+2) which I did crop away afterwards so there is no vignetting in the image...
PP was more of lightening up the picture, both the shadows and the mid-tones and highlights - added to the orange tones and reduced the overall saturation...
I am glad they changed the rules though I wish it had been done last week :o)
High impact image with great tones and color. Without the title I would struggle to see pollution and still with it I see something beautiful not pollution......so I guess visual pollution can be very subjective.
Still a great image but I would have probably saved it for the free-study.
