About the Image(s)

This image was taken at Osaka-Jō-Kōen (Osaka Castle Park) in Osaka, Japan. The photo was taken on June 30, 2018 at 12:11pm Japan Time. The image shows the bridge and tall grass in the foreground, the moat and the opposite side of the bridge in the mid-ground, and Osaka Castle amidst the trees in the background. The photo was taken on my SONY ILCE-5000 camera. The ISO is 320, the exposure time is 1/800 sec., the f stop is 8, and the focal length is 17mm. Post-processing in Adobe Photoshop Express with slight increase to the sharpness, dehaze, and clarity, and slight decrease to the whites and vibrance.

I love this, especially with the bridge being a leading line to the castle. The only thing I find distracting is that one tall stem of grass that could be cloned out unless you were entering it into a Travel Division photo. If it doesn't bother you, then leave it.   Posted: 10/16/2020 13:41:29
 
Thanks for the suggestions Margaret. I agree that the one tall stem of grass isn't ideally placed. However, as I was thinking about entering this photo under the Travel division, I am glad to know that this image is a good fit for that category.   Posted: 10/27/2020 15:55:11

This is a lovely image, but I felt the coloring was a little bland. So, I opened it in Photoshop and used image/adjustments/vibrance/saturation.
I hope you like the suggestion.   Posted: 10/24/2020 20:43:36

Thank you Bev. I agree that the color needed some work, but I didn't want to go overboard. I think your Photoshop edits really brighten the shot. Great edit and suggestions!   Posted: 10/27/2020 15:56:31
