I dont have much to say about this photo. I did a little PP to it ( about all that i understand ). I really want to learn how to get the Sepia that Irma gets but for right now i think this will work ...
Tell me what you think . All i did was use the dodge tool in the water ( but to darken it ) , and resized it .
thanks for looking .......... Shawn

THe reflections are nice, but I think it needs a bit more... maybe enhance the gradient in the sky?

Depends on what you PP with. If it's Photoshop then try 'photoshop tutorials' in google or altavista.
There's a whole world out there.

Hi BD, I think you should have put the shot into fix me up and made it a bit bigger. Its a great way to learn. I hope someone better than me will run you through the sepia conversion. I have only just started to play around myself so I will learn as well. Nice shot, I think the sepia would go well and as ST said a gradient for the sky would work!
cheers

Hi BD
I agree with Russ about having your picture in the fix me up forum... If it were possible to have the original image in bigger size it is much better, so we could start from fresh...
I like your image and I would love to work with it... and well, if you like the result I would be more than happy to show you how I did it
Very nice pp Russ... I like the hue in your conversion

Hello to you all,
I will post it in fix me up . I didnt think to put it there . Thanks for the input i was trying to get more of a syloete ( sp ) . And i think i just blew it out . My PP skills arent good at all and am still working on the little things .
I like what you did to it Russ. Good job...
I am having problems with a bigger size on the fix me up area . I will have to try later .
