This was taken on a trip to Ottawa over the summer. Actually this breathtaking view of Canada’s parliament buildings in Ottawa was taken from across the river at the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, QC. The outside of the museum is chock full of amazing pictures like this one. 
This is another entry in Carmi Levy’s Thematic Photographic: Travel. Here’s how it works.

A summertime trip to Ottawa

September 8th, 2009This picture taken in Old Montreal needed to be kicked up a notch. Notice the After shot is much sharper, brighter and has more feeling, more ambiance. It’s a friendlier looking place, than the darker Before shot.
Make the jump to see how I did it
ADDED:
For anyone interested how I did this, here’s the rundown.
- As always, convert image to LAB color and sharpen only the Lightness layer using Unsharp Mask. Then return to RGB color mode. (PS action here)
- Add Hue Saturation adjustment layer and increased the reds +51
- Add Levels adjustment layer for contrast/brightness (Midtone Input Level=1.05, Highlight Input Level=182)
