Should I choose / Be nothing better than a wandering cloud, / I cannot miss my way.

    Okay, here we go. A lot you you ask me how I process my pictures.Well I have some actions I made on my own. But I also play with my pictures and the colours. Here are some basics and what I made with this one:
    Brighten up, sharpening, made a blue layer and a yellow layer, cropped it a bit, made a vignette, put on my watermark and played a little bit with the white and yellow colours to fit them.
    Hope this was useful :)
    I'm thinking of making some actions for you eventually...

    Take a better view

    Btw: After reading this I noticed that I've forgotten some steps: changing the color saturation (more blue and yellow tones), boosting the contrast, blured the background after using the stamp tool and after all I've used the highpass filtre (soft light 20 %).

      Schöne Arbeit, diese Puscheln mit dem Schnee oben auf sehen sehr süß aus. Wunderbar auch Deine Nachbearbeitung, schön wie Du die Farben verändert hast, so ergibt sich ein sehr stimmungsvolles Winterbild.
