Hi All,

Just having a bit of a play with this taken in June (daft o'clock) and I was trying to give it some depth. Has it worked?



All comments and crit welcome, thanks for looking.

Cheers

OK, thanks Merc. Has anyone got any idea as to why the processed one doesn't work (I secretly like it you see). ;)

There's two points of sharpness -the boats and the trees on the right. Maybe take the sharpness off the trees for impact - I like the effect though.

Jusat saw this on Flickr and said the same thing. :)
 
Heres another attempt, this one any nearer?

Last for me is the best - very impressed by the way you've rescued what was a fairly dull(in light terms) shot! (y)

Thanks John. I really like this shot and I'm determined to get a good image out of it.

It's mainly the mountains in the background of both the processed shots I don't like. Strugghling for the right words, but they look like they've been painted over with wall paper paste.

Very well put and you're right they do. Time for a re-think.

OK, I've had another go at these, this time with a b&w conversion. One has had a warming filter added the other hasn't.
Anyone got any thoughts to whether these look better or worse than the ones above?

1 Without filter


2. With filter


Thanks for looking

Thanks Chewy, I'll have a go at that.
