ABOUT THE PHOTO

I took this photo in Morocco some weeks ago in the beautiful oasis valley Tinghir. I loved the lush green gardens with the mud-brick houses and the Atlas mountains in the background, but unfortunately, the light was not the best, so I put all my hopes in your post-processing magic!

[ruth-elise]

This is my entry :)
I really wanted to emphasize those people walking as well

[jpphotography]

I love the colour of the houses!

[ruth-elise]

thanks :)

[gabrielatravels]

:D

[jpphotography]

You are fast! :D

[gabrielatravels]

Yep, I really loved the picture so I played a bit with some effects :D

[yblith]

Great Image!
I really like those two monks(?) walking contemplatively through those gardens and tried to emphasize exactly this detail in my version.

[jpphotography]

Two coloured monks, interesting!

[jayclar30]

Here's my entry...

[jpphotography]

Wow, a lot of contrast, interesting!

[miroslavrc]

Here is mine entry. :)

[jpphotography]

Interesting colours!

[jabre]

[jpphotography]

Wow, not much colour left in there! :D Interesting!

[jabre]

Thanks.

But I'm not quite satisfied with this edit... :/

[scottshots]

Nice shot @jpphotography! I went for the square crop with this one.

[jpphotography]

The square crop does well!

[scottshots]

Glad you like that @jpphotography!

[lucevic]

hello jpphotography ... thanks for the opportunity to have fun ... I hope you do not mind the daring of my editions ... and that you enjoy them as much as I ...

[jpphotography]

Wow, leaving out the green fields and adding this mirror effect is brave, very interesting!

[dmytrokorol]

That was tough!

[jpphotography]

Wow, I love the sunlight you added on the mountains! Beautiful colours as well

[simplemrakpor]

This is my entry. Thanks.

[jpphotography]

Thanks to you, I like the brilliant colours!

[simplemrakpor]

Happy to edit

[chaseburnett]

I went fairly minimal for the editing on this one. Thanks for sharing! :)

[tcpolymath]

The mountains are nice and all, but the fields are really where it's at.

[jpphotography]

I like the panorama crop!

[viking-ventures]

I did my usual edits plus a couple of hits of "color enhance" to bring out the natural beauty of the area. I didn't want to crop out the people or the river, so I left it as is.

[jpphotography]

Wow, looks very clear!

[viking-ventures]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. It was a fun picture to play with.

[bil.prag]

all of my edits HERE
something just went down on Steemit and just refuses to upload an image, if you want to see it, visit the link, i will edit it later.

[jpphotography]

I love the warm colour that you gave to the houses and the gradient on the sky!

[r00sj3]

Check my #howdidshedothat post

[jpphotography]

Wow, I was just wonder how did she do that? :D I love the warm colours and the the clouds you added (although I spotted a little too soft corner on the mountains) :)

[r00sj3]

haha, still learning how to soften the hard edges just right ;)

[jpphotography]

I am no better, that's why I am mostly too lazy to open Photoshop and stick with Lightroom :D

[r00sj3]

I have not touched Lightroom yet, so don't know if that would be easier or harder. But since I ran into the issue that I want to have different effects on different areas and my original tool didn't do the trick (and I wanted to do a spiderman edit in week 6) I had to (re-)teach myself photoshop. And I am super competitive so I don't want to do what everyone else seems to be doing ;)

[jpphotography]

Lightroom is just so much faster than Photoshop for normal edits with a good workflow, I can do a quick Lightroom edit in one minute and a decent one in less than five minutes. For RAWs, Lightroom is so much better to use than CameraRAW. Also, Lightroom is not just an editing tool, but also fantastic for managing a catalogues of photos. Since Adobe is offering a comparably "cheap" (still super expensive!) photography bundle that includes both programs I am still using Photoshop once in a while because you can't add clouds or unicorns in Lightroom!

[r00sj3]

They should create an Adobe Rainbow app that drops unicorns anywhere you like ;)

[sjarvie5]

[jpphotography]

Looks not over-edited, just some better colours, I like it!

[asgarth]

Another great shot. I decided to go with a b&w edit focusing in the middle of the frame.

My post with all the edits for this week is here

[jpphotography]

Finally a B&W edit :D Interesting!

[nkera]

Hi,
At first I started with b&w. I though it might be nice to go for the contrast there. But, then I realised I have a fairly nice opposites in the grass and the houses / mountains. So i decided to emphasise those...

Hope you like,
Cheers.

[jpphotography]

Good eye there, I like what you did to the colours!

[matt.why.not]

I can't exactly say why but I found this photo hard to edit, just couldn't find the way that I would be satisfied with the edit, and finished with something like this:

[jpphotography]

I found it very challenging to edit myself, I guess it is because of the light

[matt.why.not]

Yeah, but still it's a challenge right? :D Bigger challenge make us think more about getting good effect :)

[zirensparvg]

here's my take on the photo ^o^

this one's extremely difficult!

[jpphotography]

It's certainly not an easy image to edit, but you managed it! Love the panorama crop and the colours are interesting

[zirensparvg]

this one honestly gave me an extreme headache! xD
am glad you like the colors
^o^

[bringolo]

Too bad the light wasn't as you would have liked. But I like this oasis; nice shot. This is my try:

[jpphotography]

The HDR look is interesting :)

[caseygrimley]

What a great scene!
Here's my edit

[jpphotography]

Nice gradient on the sky!

[vtravels]

Great location!

[jpphotography]

I like the slightly warm colour tone :)

[vtravels]

Thank you ! It was a great shot!

[derekkind]

Wow, what a place! :)

[jpphotography]

Where did these clouds come from and what did you do to my boring sky? :D

[r00sj3]

he just keeps copying me ;)

[derekkind]

[rimicane]

My take. I was drawn to the city itself:

[jpphotography]

Great crop and strong colours!

[jarvie]

I think this helps direct more attention down to the ladies walking and the cool fields.

[jpphotography]

That's a great panoramic crop!

[pixresteemer]
