How I turned a plain silver photo into a vibrant, bold, and colorful artistic piece. Photoshop methods were key, and LAB color adjustments did the trick.

I took this during my solitaire photowalk in Del Mar while I was trying to get shots for my “Minimalism in Photography” project entry. This particular photo shows part of a railroad crossing gate. I chose this composition because it had some fairly simple geometries that stuck out, plus the painted texture was really neat. What I didn’t expect was for this to be a colorful photo, but hey… whatever works.
