Photography - an assignment given by Crahan

Some time ago, Timothy linked me a webpage where one person made a photograph and invited other people to post-process the picture the way they wanted it.

In analogy to this, Crahan (Thomas) started a similar project a few days ago. He supplied us with the untouched raw file and asked for our perception and adaption of the image.
I liked this idea a lot, downloaded the .DNG file and fired up my Photoshop immediately as I didn’t want to go post-processing with Raw Camera or Aperture.

The first steps I took were cropping, framing and cutting the picture. I didn’t want to touch the image itself by altering anything but levels, colours, curves. I did want to accentuate the warm weather and focus on the three people on the bench.

This is what I came up with, I hope you like it.

Thomas will collect all altered images in a few days and you will be able to see them on http://www.n00.be
If you want you can always grab the raw file and give a shot at it yourself. Have fun.
