Been without internet (or phone, or cable) since the lightning storm early Thursday morning (and now finally restored via fiber replacing copper). Lots of great photos to play with and also fantastic results since then. Anyway, thought I would return with a chalk.

Out of curiosity I decided to try the colour cast reduction plug-in, followed by a lightening of the darkest parts with curves.

Cropped. I have tried to make the ropes and the post less distracting. Saturation M and L increased.

Emphasised the colour of the wood and made the pathway darker.

Issabella,
The three line-art pictures are very effective. Each one has a different feel.

Since I cannot draw, I might as use all these colored pencils for something.

All photos only have subtle changes. I like to use the contrast Swiss Mask (Just found it recently) Most of the filters I used were GMIC ones too and only 3 of those were used
