Working with Colors of Original Photo

Excellent work Jeff! Best regards, Catalin

Looking for Honest Comments/Critiques/Ratings...the colors in this

shot were enhanced through Photoshop...

This work is doing very nicely, thank you. If you are willing to consider another WEE change I'd look at bringing the horizon onto the horizontal - the slight tilt to the left at the moment is a tiny bit distracting.

Beautiful colors. Nice adjustment from original post.

Redone again fixing the slight horizon line tilt...

Good color and contrast, a dramatic shot. I like it Jeff, Toby

I love the feel of the water in this . The sky seems almost a tad too blue for the shades in the body of water. It is beautiful overall. Great job.

Hi Jeff, beautiful work, but have to agree with Margaret, the sea color is a bit odd when looking at the dazzling blue sky. Otherwise, the dramatic clouds go well with the roaring waves against the shore.

Thanks for your comments everyone. To Margaret and Teresa, I see what you're saying but this is Lake Erie, a somewhat muddy dirty lake....so the lake coloring is quite accurate believe it or not. I did use a little more saturation in the sky to deepen the colors as well. I do appreciate all the ratings and comments though!!! Thank you all!

That is definately an accurate image of the lake, I agree with you on that Jeff. The colors are very sharp and defined which provides a stark contrast between the land, the lake, and the sky. Great shot!

Jeff, A couple of other things that elevate this composition are: the desired 'S' curve formed by the foreground foam & tree line and the fact that there are interesting patterns in both the sky and the lake. Did I mention the sidelighting? One can sense the bright but windy day. Go easy on the saturation adjustment or any PS adjustment for that matter. Any manipulation should be transparent, that is, subtle, not obvious. Best, LM.

Great contrast of colors, clouds and waters.

Very good!

I understand what you are saying. There are scenes where I live that look totally wrong, and that's before I even photograph them!

i missed this the first time thru. great shot, the whitecaps and the sky really bring drama to this shot.

Excellent image. Remember that an image does not need to be accurate to be a good work of art.
