[Leica] IMG: Just a bench...

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

Hi Bob,

I think it's got potential.
At the moment, it's all too dark - almost 'heavy'.
You don't want to lose the blacks in the bench, but I feel it needs to 
be separated from the background.  Try playing with the green, yellow 
and orange sliders in Lightroom: you should be able to lighten the 
foliage without affecting the foliage or the pavement.  I'm thinking of 
trying to mimic the effect f a yellow-green or green filter here...

Playing about with the curve might help too.

Just my 0.02c worth - actually probably worth a lot less :-)

All the best
