This 'yellow house' was taken in Pulau Ubin. Was cycling my way to Chek Jawa when I passed by this colourful single storey house which immediately drew my attention to. Everything about it contained colours. The plastic water bottles, the windmill etc. I wanted to potray the strong colours, especially the yellow at the frontage of the home. Ive included the 2 zinc hoardings at the sides of the photo to show how the 'dull' path eventually leads to the bright 'yellow' home.
This photo was taken while I was still on my bicycle. Cam was hanging by my neck. Was sweating and did not have a drop of water left in my water bottle. It was also warm and humid but this home just made me forgot about the high slopes and weather for a moment.
I did a saturation for the different colours, emphasizing on the yellow. I also did a levels and curves adjustment to bring out the contrast. Some unsharp mask was also done to sharpen the image. I like the final product but I feel that it is alittle noisy, perhaps due to the USM and also levels and curves adjustment.
Would like to know if:
1) Composition is ok?
2) Photo is too noisy?
3) Some degree of cropping necessary to bring out the yellow home?
4) Ways to improve the photo
Any C&C will be greatly appreciated.
