This is a shot i took this weekend when i was in venice in the Palazzo Ducale. The first is the original shot, the second i adjusted a bit

what do you think? all coments welcome as i'm still learning to us photoshop
i know there isn't too much difference, but i don't want it to look too fake using too much contrast

Nice!
almost looks like there is more dept in the second one..

The roof is really great!

I've been there three years ago so it was a nice nostalgia shot for me. I thnk I like the orignal better. Be careful not to use the contrast adjust to liberally. I find that I can up the lightness of the image a bit and just a smidging of contrast and then increase the saturatin by 15 to 20 to get fantastic results. I can see that your contrast adjustment elminated information in the highlights that are now pure white.

I agree, the adjustment did wipe out some of the fine detail. I vote for the original, warts and all.

Side by side I like them both, though the original appeals a bit more as the colors are not as saturated. If they were not together I would not know any difference.

Nice shots both. I like the first one best for the natural colors.
(been there many years ago and in Venice this summer)

Cropping the bottom of the floor away would make a palace of a difference
