Warrior , is that an attempt at tilt shift photography? I am not sure that the photo lends itself well to that purpose . Perhaps, a centered focus with a vignetted blur would be better. Just my opinion though!

No, it really isn't the best photo for that effect. Here's a few I've done that were better suited:

The warrior, I love your transformations. Beautiful views (except the traffic one

)

I wanted to try something in Black and White.

@The Warrior
good use of tilt shifting technique! I like in the order the third one and the first one.
But pls tell me: it's just the setup of the computer I'm using here (I'm in vacation), or do you really like so EXTREMELY strong colours?
I thought to be one who likes well coloured images, but you surpasses me two times as much!!!

The point of the technique is to make the subject look like toys and toys are frequently bright colours, so what Warrior has done so successfully is partly due to the strong colours.

Understand, Kevin, thanks!

Thank you Akros for your nice words to my try. That encourages me to follow as I'm learning from you all who have so much experience. :tyspin

This. Exactly this. :bigthup

I had a go at your black and white one Issabella.
Most of the same presets as before except saturation excetera. I ran freaky details and texture enhance on this one as well.

Sallyanne, your outcome is very good. I like it as the sky is much more definite. :clap

I'm trying to improve the B&W ones but I'll put them in the right place (sharing outcomes- Black&White). I made a mistake putting it in this topic. :oops:

sallyanne · **Posted:** Wed Jul 02, 2014 10:59 pm **(#31)**

It is still a cityscape. So I think it fits but if you feel the need to start another one for BW , I guess do!

Issabella · **Posted:** Thu Jul 03, 2014 11:44 am **(#32)**

The view in colour. I've applied unsharp mask and filters in G'MIC. I'm always trying new ones.

This photo is treated with a Dinasset's method which I liked a lot. Firstly I applied some of retinex and removed blue tone. Then applied Max. RGB.

Beautiful shades and contrast

Very interesting outcome, Issabella!
But - as we say in Italy - if you talk about the devil, the devil comes out!
So here is the devil's manipulation (added some gradient)

it looks strange, isn't it? but somehow fascinating....

Thank you Molly. I learn so much here in the forum.

Dinasset, Wow! that is really wonderful and new look in a photo. The gradient gives strength to the central zone where is the sun rays. I love it. :tyspin

Just been having a play with some of the info I have been reading about recently on here. I normally go OTT on photos but tried very hard to keep a genuine feel to this one.

I don't remember where Issabella posted her initial picture.
This is a "revisited" version of her "Getting dark in Kyoto".
I used my filter based on Issabella's tutorial related to Manhattan city, with modifications, and addition on source image colours.
