I believe this image to be very successful so far, but one major thing bothers me (other people too), the wake around the boat and whales...umm, there is none. Can someone please show me a good technique for making wake around them, not much just enough to show movement. I have tried several things and can't get anything to look right. Someone help! Any other suggestions on how this image could be improved would also be nice, but mainly the wake. Thanx everyone, have a good one! Schnaps

There are probably 100's of ways to do this, but here is how I would do it: -load the extra brushes that come with photoshop. -create a new layer -switch to paintbrush tool, use one of the blotchy brushes, white color, opacity 100%, don't draw with the brush, rather "spot click" your way to something that resembles a wake. -Clean up the edges of the wake with the eraser. -Play with blending tools, etc -Merge the layers

Try fixing contrast, looks alittle washed out, maybe increase the saturation too.

In that same vein, you can create a new layer duplicating the original picture, then set the new layer's properties to Multiply. Fiddle with the opacity to get the best looking image. This can very quickly fix washed-out or undersaturated images, I use it for photos a lot. Gromit
