Morning dew

This morning had some amazing light combined with mist and dew, sadly I didn't have much time for more than a couple of shots.

This is what I did:

1. Crop Image
2. Boost vibrance and Saturation
3. Add an adjustment curve layer to boost highlights and shadows
4. Overlay layer to paint some more lighten water drops a little
5. Add a vignette to a linear burn layer.
6. Flatten Image and Duplicate Layer
7. Sharpen layer with Unsharpen.
8. Add a layer mask to selectively sharpen image.
9. Flatten Image, and export

I'm with Marko. Love that first image. Definitely frame-worthy.

I'm a big fan of #1 as well. Interesting to see your editing flow too. :)

I adore both!

Stunning images Richard. I love the focus. You must have really cranked up the shutter speed to get the background to fade, nice touch. Great work.

Nice work. Liking them both!

Thanks guys,

DanStar the shutter was 1/400 for the first and 1/60 for the second (which was more in the shade) I used a reflector to try and fill the shadows.

Very nice work all round Richard!!
