I see you guys had a lot of fun with it!!! It is so interesting how different people see the same picture differently. Good job everyone!

I decided to post a new photo for editing every Monday, so here another one:

Oke a little strange combination but that's photoshop. Okay a little strange combination of pictures, but that is the advantage of photoshop.

The idea was to combine a few photos that capture In an image by editing a fantasy image. I think it worked out. Tell me what you think.

Early to the beach
Lightroom 5 Adjustments:

Graduated filter with full 4.0 tint increase to make sky.
Circular Radial filter at maximum 4 stop over exposure to create rising sun.
Cloned horizon and sea at 35% opacity over bottom half of rising sun to make reflection on water.
Graduated filters with under and over exposures at 45% angles from bottom left and upper right.

I guess one more wouldn't hurt.
This is a bit bluer. It's cropped tighter, and bordered.
Two of the surfers have drowned.

second attempt...

Edits were made in Lightroom 5 and PSE 10.

In Lightroom I first leveled the image and removed all spotting. I then decreased highlights to -100, increased shadows to +100 and found the black and white points. Adjustments were made to contrast, clarity and vibrance. The image was sharpened a bit with some post crop vignetting added.

In PSE I cropped to 8x10 removing the sky. The midtone input level was lowered to .90.

Considerable use of the clone tool was used to move two of the surfers within the image, add a wave,
and remove the unattractive seaweed.

Mandrake.

First I have aligned the horizon and cropped the picture.

Then I have adjusted the white balance, contrast, shadows, colors and something else, I did everything with Aperture.

I hope you like it
