To emphasis the beauty of the black stallion in the sunset, all the unwanted objects in the background including a fort has been removed. Then the color has been enhanced and to add to the effect the grains in the image has been increased.
Except the paddy fields rest of the background is desaturated and angle brush has been used for the effect. The section in front of paddy fields has been edited separately for increasing the contrast and brightness.
This is one of the very complicated picture that I have edited till now. To take out the complex structure of the butterfly from a very complicated background took a lot of time. Once the layer is separated then it didn't took much time in editing it.
In this picture after leaving the specific objects in color rest all are changed into black-n-white then cross stroke of the brush is applied. This enhanced the background of the picture.
When you play with photo-shop then sometime the outcome is just astounding... more than what you have expected.
This picture is taken in Goa... except the parachute color rest everything changed to monochrome. Now if you observe closely this gave a 3D effect to parachute... Below is another one:
Magnified the picture to give a digital breakup effect and also added the crackling effect. The color of the picture haven't been changed at all. Below is another view of the sunset, here the border of the picture is darkened to blend it with the environment.
Check out how precisely this picture blends with the back ground. To single out any one out of a bunch this is the best way, digitally zoom the individual and if you add a crackle effect then it enhances the picture much more.
The actual picture taken in 2004 when I went to Alibaug (India) with my friends in my company. This picture has been edited in two ways... not much of editing... only the color is changed to Black and White. Also added the feel of a photo frame.
