G'day all, I have been out a few times lately to get some pics.........I seem to be in a bit of a rut. Not much to show for my efforts......maybe I am expecting too much..........hmmmmm dunno :/ Anyhow I have been trying to pp my way back with bad shots to start with

This is one I have been playing with.

I really like the colours in the water, and how the rest is pretty mono. The silhouetts of the canoes looks great too. it gives me a quiet, dramatic feel as though something is about to happen. calm before the storm so to speak.

Sorry to hear your in a rut
You'll get back up!

I think your picture is very beautiful! I like a lot the canoes as well and the reflection... Your sky looks dramatic... very nice detail in the clouds..

It sure has a mood to it, well done!

[Banded Drake]

I have to agree with everyone else. It has a great feel to it and the colors are very nice too. To be honest this is one that i can see hanging on a wall..

It's a very nice shot, the mood and lighting are great. (There's just a little triangular something in the LR corner, just up the right side, that could use a touch of the clone tool.)

...and they look like kayaks to me...

Thanks everyone for all you comments........appreciate the positive feedback.

Matt.........what triangle thing??? fixed, thanks missed that

Very nice. Just the sort of moody shot that I like best. Great use of negative space in the black surround.

Thanks Toad,
The original was not so moody. I wanted to add that feel to it. I just copied the background to a new layer, set the blend to multiply and then play with curves etc to taste.
