Here another example for Post Processing and editing.

This is another image that I took during the 2010 Kitesurfing Worldcup in St. Peter-Ording. The original image is quite nice:

Alexandre Neto - before

But it does not quite look “great”. Technically the image is fine – but it does not transfer any emotion… So I adjust some settings in Lightroom (more color, contrast and some vignetting):

Alexandre Neto - After, step 1

I think it’s already looking much more “dramatic”. Still, there are the lines of another kite that distract. So just another “touche” with Photoshop to get those away:

Alexandre Neto - After, step 2

What do you think ?
