Color Grading

When I heard "color grading," I remembered this shot because it was one of the first times I payed close attention to adjusting specific colors in the image. I wanted to make the yellows, oranges, and greens a lot more prominent and over-exaggerated to create a dramatic effect. I also darkened the bottom half of the image to give the reflection a little more something. This image was taken during an Iceland Photography workshop with Sean Parker and Thor Photography. I learned a lot about landscape photography on this trip and it's one of my personal favorites.
