I'm a graphics programmer, and I surf this site very often, trying to learn about photography. I don't usually comment pictures because I don't feel I know enough, but this one falls more in my domain. The balls, ground, reflections and "sky" are definitely computer generated (ray-traced). The lines on the eggs is a common model of procedural texture. Hard to tell about the snakes, but whether they are CG or not, to me that's not a photo, sorry...

Thanks for the comments!! Liv: the weather has been quite nice recently :) In PS I only added a bit of saturation to the red and the blue of the boat (a cobble in fact...), and to the green of the grass in the foreground. I thought about cropping the sky out completely as well but I didn't like it too much. I agree about the space around the boat, unfortunately that's as much as I could get with my camera as there is a fence very close to the boat, from which the picture was taken. I might give it another try though, the boat is still here as far as I know :) Maybe with the wider lens of my SLR.

I took this picture a while ago and decided to do some work on it

using Photoshop. I'd like to know what other people think about it. I

boosted the colours in Photoshop but I don't know if I got it right.

 

Thanks,

Franck.

I've been surfing this website for a while, while trying to learn how

to take nice photographs. This is my first post, and although I know

it's nothing like lots of the pictures here, I thought it could be

interesting to read what people would say about it, as I really like

it. Any sensible comment will help me improve.
