Thats incredible work my friend !!! Awesome postwork and shot, really pro !! Stunning !! :o))

Like I mentioned.. the endresult is verry good, though I think you should not post in photography anymore imho :P

Thank God its all a matter of opinion then, LOL. Cant see how I could put it in some kind of gallery as "Mixed Medium", since i only used Photoshop. The same software so many of us use to sharpen, saturate or even crop our photos. Just went a bit further than that this time #;o) Still waiting for that "Photomanipulation/Postwork" genre.

You are a photomanipulator of the highest order!!!!It does indeed have an illustrated quality to it.It's beautiful Andreas.I love the tones and the soft feel it has.And sooo dramatic! The rays and the seagull are the perfect crowning touch.I think they're the best part of this compo....Hope I didn't offend you when I called the original crappy.Sooooorry.Still friends? :(

this is a photo to me. everone use photoshop. In the old days they use tricks in the darkroom. this is super looking. I love those waves and the hills of Scoland still stands

I've seen the before and after, and it's quite a difference...you took something that needed a little zip and zapped it good. Your PW is awesome my friend. Can't agree with WonderfulCreation on this one tho-. Bottom line is, it's still a photo, and everyone PW's just a little..because you have gone beyond the boundries does it make it less of a photo?...I think not. I have always admired your skill in PW and this one takes the ordinary to the extraordinary! A great weekend to you my friend~ Aloha~

Looks wonderful and very impressive. Fantastic work! Very well done!!!

OMG! You are so good at post work! I can only do so much with post work as I don't have those kinds of skills but man you sure do! VOTE!!

Very dramatic, what a rough sea and rugged coast you captured

THIS CAUGHT MY EYE, HAVE NOT SEEN THE ORIGINAL BUT THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE HAS MADE A WONDERFUL PICTURE WELL WORKED.

Makes for a very dramatic scene - nice postwork :)

Magnificent,amazing and wonderful!!! A masterpiece!!

Wow - I just love that one - and what you did to the original to achieve this. Good to know that I'm not the only one around "manipulating". How you did that will remain a mystery to me, though!

Excellent work. Realy great job

short ramble coming up Post Work is an Art...this looks just fine :] photography is where it belongs...bugger the Purists!

What a power, what an expression!!! Wonderful and very artistic composition... stunning postwork too! Have a wonderful week!

Fantastic!*****!

Great job. Without a good original the best postwork can't help! Well done!

[Quote Zacko: "... Just went a bit further than that this time #;o) Still waiting for that "Photomanipulation/Postwork" genre."] I wonder how many pictures would actually fall in there then ... awesom picture, even the original has already so much power in it ... and after your magic hands toucht it ... it is outstanding!!!

Wow, this looks ominous like a tsunami! Impressive moody work, Andreas, you made something verrry special!

I agree! The original was really crappy... And what you have done here is just incredible! Sincere compliments!!! Are you volonteer to turn all my crappy shots (got hundreds of them) into something like this??

MAGIC! Looks like a scene of out of an Hollywood-movie! Great dramatic, gorgeous atmosphere, incredible work of art, well done!

OH MAN! I just wrote you a long comment and it was lost! The comment fairy must have got it! LOL :( It went something like this: Awesome......bla bla bla.....something.....the post work works......bla bla bla....something , something....looks like it was fun too!

Perfect result.

I'm glad to see that some people aren't affraid to tell it like it is. That's how we improve. Thanks to Marlene we get to see a fantastic piece of art work. Well done my friend.
