Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I took this picture with an instant Olympus SP570UZ in JPG
with no tripod or flash with a focal Length 86 mm and 64 ISO.
Consequently the final image ended up being soft, but I still

Fwoar. I personally love this !

Great capture from an Olympus superzoom :wink:

I have to say.. this is truely amazing in my opinion, I love the arty overlay... usually I'm not a fan of it as it is "overused the wrong way" but here it's perfectly fitted, the ship even looks like it's stationery ON LAND! *baffles mind*


Great work! :up:

Looks like a clever way to rescue a pic which didn't stand up to your scrutiny.

Well done.

I wouldn't mind seeing a crop of the bottom third, where the water changes texture.

Thank you for the comments guys, this is a reduced size of the
original nothing done to it except that I save it for the web to
a manageable size.

I agree, its a real art to know when to apply filters overlays or whatever these thingy-m-bobs are, and you have nailed it on this occasion.

Great use of a filter to fix an image that I would have thrown away!
