Headin Back to Shore

I think this looks like I used HDR software on this, but I didn't. I used

Photoshop's shadow/highlight adjustment and layers. Any thoughts for

improvement, critiques, ratings are always welcome. Thank you for

looking.

Looks good.Color ,contrast and composition look excellent. I think a little final sharpening would help the image have greater impact Though. Best Regards

Linda this is very beautiful,like a feary tale.Best wishes.

A great capture and memory. Have a wonderful day

A very nice image. Well done.

A lovely shot, Linda! Warm regards...

Beautiful!

Nice composition, reminds me of Little Big Bar Lake area. Alos I would like to thank you for your comments you have left with my portfolio images. Take care.

This has the elements of a great watercolor. Great blocked-in shapes, an effective use of the "white" space, and a somewhat dreamy touch. I really love this one.

Cynthia Jean, thank you for looking and commenting.

 

Bill, thank you!

 

Joe, thanks, I'm glad you like it.

 

Lester, thank you.

 

George, it is Roche Lake, south of Kamloops. It is not only beautiful, but full of trophy rainbow.

 

Jeff, watercolour is my favorite medium. Maybe I should try to do this as a watercolour. Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

 

Warm regards to all of you.

Thank you for stopping and commenting. I'm glad you like it. Warm regards.

 

 

 

Actually, Linda, I think that the shadows/highlights tool often produces HDR-like results. I often need to use "levels" to punch up some of the colors in the image after I use S/H. But I like both tools. Next on my agenda is to learn more about using curves instead of levels, as they say that it's MUCH better.

 

Anyway you slice it, though - I really like the image. The family in the boat really gives this image something special. I also love the different green tones in the trees and all those gorgeous poofy clouds. Nice!

I used my polarizer filter on this. I think it brought out the greens and helped create better definition in the clouds and water. I like using both the shadows/highlights, levels, curves, contrast, exposure, filters, just about everything in Photoshop. I like to experiment. It is also wonderful and rare when something comes straight of the camera and I don't feel I have to change anything. I am so glad that you like this. It was a beautiful day. Thank you!

 

 

 

 

Linda, there is nothing I can really add that hasnt been said, except that I really like this photo, 7/7, great work.

This is a wonderful and wholesome image. It reminds me of Norman Rockwell in content, feel, and message which is a good thing. Really like this shot. I hope you are doing well. I have not heard from you in a while. Best wishes and take care. ....

 

Talk about everything coming together just right! It's painterly without looking too painterly -- as some photographs try to do. It communicates feeling, memories, etc. rather than just a static moment in time. A lifetime keeper especially for the subjects in the boat. Many other good photos in your portfolio.

Hi Linda. Absolutely gorgeous. I love the ripples in the water. Great story and great work ... Ray.
