I used two masks. One on original image and a duplicate of that image which was placed on top layer. I darkened the darks and reveled the lightness and colors underneath that layer whcih had saturation, color balance, and level adjustments.

I used a mask of original image and placed it on top with different adjustment layers beneath it so the colors would stand out with the darkened edges. I used virbrance, saturation, levels, and color balance adjustment layers beneath the mask and revealed them by using the brush.

  1. Excellent colors and saturation on your sky shots! I think I missed some of your flora and fauna images, but the flower one is striking. Great clarity, colors and composition. Nice work!

  2. I totally agree. That first one has great blue-ality about it and the silhouetting is a very nice touch against such an interesting sky.
