One for the colours

This one I really like for some reason. The water holdsl a sort of fresh liveliness that I like, as well as the colour of the sky reflected in the water. Any thoughts/critiques?

Hi Dave

It looks that good - you could drink it! Love the colours and how they blend in to each other. Surely a little bumping up on the saturation levels? Not saying such a lovely place actually exists.

Ciao

Sean :)

Dave - love it - my only suggestion would be a crop at the top to take out the building(?) :D

The colours are great. I'm with Chris on the cropping up the top. Maybe also crop the rocks out on the bottom too.

Thanks for the comments guys. I already cropped the top a little bit. Maybe I'll crop it just a tad more. That's actually a barrier separating me from the highway. I really didn't boost saturation that much. Maybe +7 or so, the result from the camera was pretty good. What really changed the color of the water was a slight tone shift to the left bringing out the water a little more.

Excellent. I see echoes of your clouds in the puddle shot in this. Have you thought about framing these two together I think they'd make an interesting counterpoint to each other. Or better still take a third shot and do all three as a tryptych (sp?)

The water's glowing... No nuclear reactor close by?

Great image...

Cheers,

Stubbsy,

Really good idea! I'm going to look into this. Maybe frame them and cut two holes for the matte.

Mudder,

Nope, just perhaps an itchy finger on the tone slider. Not sure exactly what I think about it though.
