Pumpkins

They are more difficult, I thought.
First in lab mode

second in HSB mode.
You can pump up the colors, but watch out the detail contrasts.

i prefer the lab mode.
there is something missing in the HSB mode, I could not get it right.

Try some curves simular to the ones attached..I played around a bit more and it really is a interesting adjustment.

Greg,
i will do that.
I read always the unread post, so I see them all , and have seen the suggestions from Mike afterwards.
So, you and Mike make the pumpkins older.
I had the opposite thoughts.
So I will  give it a try , I hope to day.

Greg,
it is easy to copy this curve to try it.
I have done it.
The most difficult for me is to see and feel how to manipulate the hue curve.
I think it is a feeling and excersizing and tying.
So , publishing here the nearly copied and manipulated  picture has no sense.
I have reading again about what Mike asked to do with the picture.
So, i think , i do not understand him on thee whole.

P.S I will continue now with the cmyk picture.
It looks now already very nice to me.
When it iwas my picture, I leave it as it is. But I give it now a try in CMYK mode.
