St. Peter's Pastel Landscape
by davidstorm
This one has had a very different treatment and may not be to everyone's taste, but I like it, especially the level of detail in the distance, which benefits from the large view.
By the way, this is not HDR, there is no element of HDR processing in this at all.

Hi Mike, this isn't a filter effect, it's all done in post processing. In this particular shot I noticed the detail in the far distance towards St. Peter's Square; on the original this is very pronounced, so I processed it to emphasise that detail. It's done with adjustments to levels, then two layers blended together using the 'soft light' blending option. I've then adjusted some of the colours in the image as the reds were too vibrant and the blues were not dark enough.

I like this a lot. It does have a pastel effect and everything looks equally exposed and in sharp focus. Certainly beyond my capabilities.

I doubt I could reproduce the effect, even with your pointers. But it'll help remind me to investigate blending modes sometime. Excellent work.

I like this sort of effect very much for exactly this sort of scene. It brings out the detail and there is a wonderful sharpness and crispness overall.
Thank you for the explanation .... I'll have to go over it a few times, but I sort of get the drift !

David,
I keep coming back to this unique and interesting shot.
And I keep wondering what you did to anger the artist lady on the extreme left.
