Description

This is a repost of yesterdays shot "Fishermans Daydreams". Andreas (Zacko) gave me a tip on a filter in Virtual Photographer called "Ambience". So I applied that to the untouched photo and then continued to tweek the brightness and contrast where needed. I'm not sure if I like how much darker the water is, but I do like the look of the trees in the background better. Please let me know what your opinion on the changes are or if you have any other ideas. Thanks for viewing and have a great day!

In truth, I like them both quite well! I just want to be there! Exquisite!

I agree with Paul. Me like them both two....so why not combine the best out of two worlds? Keep the water in your previous version and just add these trees to it? Use a layermask, and paint in the water with a soft brush. Or add a gaussian blur to the mask once youve painted it. That way you get a smooth transission between those two layers. That would of course require you having an editing software that supports masks and layers...bla bla...The capture itself remains just as beautiful by the way. Love how calm this is...ooops...bla bla bla....hope you had a great hike today, and that you return with some beautiful photos. #:O)

i like the details of this and che colours of your previous... would you try to duplicate the layer, set transparency to 50% to the above layer and add a little bit of gaussian blur to the under level... if you want, try to add diffuse glow ... maybe is what you're searchin' for...

right, the trees are looking better here but I agree that the water and the reflections are looking better in your last posting! and look at the shore here, it seems to look unreal and cutted! maybe you should have used the postwork only on the upper half of your shot! ;o)
