Some reworked SA landscape

[Callie]

I spent some time with Blake Rudis' 4 videos on Color Theory ( https://f64academy.com/color-theory-photographers-part-1-4/), especially using solid colour on existing, completed images and I was amazed by how applying his methods could improve the images.

These look great. Subtle but effective changes.

Very evocative images--they bring back my memories of Africa.

The reworking has worked a treat!. Really nice Callie. I detect the use of colour contrast to draw the eye around areas of the image. I must look at Blake's videos to get a better understanding, particularly regards PS.

You have also inspired me to watch some of Blake Rudis' videos.

Thanks Guys.
Do yourself the favour, go through the videos Blake has done in the last year, especially ARC and colour. He really knows how!

Great images Callie.

Great presentation in that link. I'd also recommend books by Dan Margulis on color theory and ways to incorporate it into your image workflow. His books on using Lab color space in Photoshop and his more generalized Modern Photoshop Color Workflow books are both very good.

Callie,, would love to see couple before and after images here... Very interesting stuff. I watched the video and am looking forward to seeing the rest in the series.

Thanks Guys, will look.
Gordon, all 4 videos are out, I watched them in August and again now. All the images above were posted in the landscape section before so I did not want to overload the page with images. This url is for video 4. If you open video 2, which you can from here, you cannot watch vid 3. So you have to open the link 3x; once for each of 2-4.
