A super stylized version of a photo I took at my favorite pond in Washington DC. I want to get better at photoshop and making it work for me with my pictures to really make them pop and stand out. Right now, the best way to do that, I think, is to just go crazy with it; completely over the top. Then, when Ive better mastered it, use it to do the kind of pictures where photoshop is heavily involved but you would never know. I have a few different versions of this picture.

This will be going into scraps as its more experimental unless the reception is good, lol.

Wall res available.

What I did: basic raw tweaks, slight crop, slight luminescence noise reduction, added 3 layers of different gradients (1 round gradient and 2 square gradients) with different centers and different radii and put them all to different transparencies while setting them to subtract filtering (gives the stylized lens vignetting), converted the image to black and white with the lighten setting and gave it a really dark blue tint.
