ABFriday Week 39 – One Photo Focus
This week, in the Visual Venturing ABFriday Challenge, we submit a postprocessed image of a jpeg by Loré Dombaj of Snow’s Fissures and Fractures .
So, as usual in Italy, I show the “Before” image…
Cropped in 1×1, I made some regulation: less lights, more shadows and increase clarity
After this, in Color Efex, made a formula with cross processing, dark contrast and cross balance…
and here the “after”…

Wonderful editing job on this photo. I like your results.
Thank you very much Cee. I always consider your opinion.
Interesting processing has quite a textures quality about it. Nice work.
Thanks so much. Happy you like it
Ma che bella!!! Bravissimo Max
Eh si, ultimamente ci si incrocia poco. Ammetto che è un periodo di svogliatezza, troppe cose mi impegnano e alla sera sono stanchissima, quindi
sto trascurando un po’ blog e amici vari. Chiedo venia 🙂
Abbi un sereno fine settimana carissimo.
Ciao, Pat
I casi della vita… è lo stesso per me. Non svogliatezza ma anzi troppi impegni. Girerà, come sempre… 😉
Max, I really like the square crop that you (and a few others) chose for Loré’s image! It helped to get rid of the distracting background in a nice way. I’m a huge fan of Color Efex Pro but have never used the cross processing or cross balance – your “recipe” brought out a lot of lovely textures and tones. I’ll have to experiment with those filters 🙂
Thank you very much Stacy. I ‘m so happy you li ke Myers pp. I Have still to much to learn about
Me too, Max 😀 Wouldn’t it be boring if we knew everything? 😉
Sure.!
Max – it turned out lovely! I like how your changes darkened up the tables and the cherub and really brought out the textures. I don’t use Color Efex, so I’m not quite sure what you did there, but the end result was well worth it.

This is different from other edits, it’s nice to see various approaches. I like it very much.
Thank you very much Loré. Ciao ciao . Max
