A walk around the canal

I have started a few personal projects photographing the local landscapes, canals, streets and weather.

These are on going projects which I am working on. I have taken several different photos of the locally, however I will be editing one at a time and updating them on weekly basics.

Today's photograph from a series called: 'A walk around the canal'

A few minor adjustments on Lightroom were done, see below

Increased Contrast +19
Decreased Highlights -100 (to retain detain in the reflection)
Decreased Shadows -100 (to bring out the shadows in the trees)
Increased Whites +33 (to bring out the whites in the boat)
Increased Clarity +10
Increased Vibrance +17

While altering the adjustments, always keep an eye out for the whole image, see in detail that other parts of the image are not getting effected.
