OK... I figured if Mic could get away with his inverted photos, then I should be allowed one like this...

I took this photo at Bradley's Head in Sydney today into the sun and as a result the water was a little overexposed... I experimented a little in PS and lo and behold I ended up with this... A little arty-farty, but I like it...

Comments welcome....

I love it. It looks a like a pastel.

Really works for me John. I love this sort of off-beat approach that makes you look twice at an image.

And of course... you can always judge a man by the size of his canoe.

Thanks for your comments guys...

Here's the original for comparison...

All I did was increase the exposure of the NEF to +4, erased out the ripples of the water and then cropped...

Simple approach - effective result. Good stuff.

Don't you just love how versatile digital photography is ?!?

An otherwise ordinary photo can be turned into something that can be quite appealing. I like what you have done with this Leek. I agree, it does look like something you'd see on a pamphlet or magazine. Perhaps you could submit it to a local canoe club ??
