Washing the boat by judithg

Washing the boat

I couldn't resist this lovely watering can sitting on top of a boat at Jesus Lock at lunchtime. It was a bit of a rush shot as we were being dived on by a young dog and I wasn't sure if Monty would decided to exert his authority (and then the owner said, 'she bites' which made me rush even more!!). Anyway - I've gone for a bit of cross-processing which really brings out the highlights but I don't know if I'm going processing mad now. I loved the original before I cross-processed - should I be trying for natural shots or going with the bit of shezazzle????
Thanks for all your lovely comments on yesterday's shot - I'm off to photography class tonight :0) so it may be tomorrow before I catch up on commenting.
I think it is a great shot!!

I love this shot, the greens look very fresh ! I don't think you could improve ! Enjoy your class, I go to my first on Thursday ! I think you should go to a more advanced one than me, mine is for beginners !!!

Great pic Judith.... I know what you mean though.... But processing is addictive I think!

Very nice, all the green really works!

I love these contrasting colours,you did well to get such a good photo, having to cope with dogs at the same time

Beautiful lighting and a nice composition Judith. A bit of shezazzle works well here :) Hope Monty was OK !!

BTW you can buy those tin watering cans in Wilkinsons :) At a decent price too I expect

I'd say go with shezazzle every time! Hope the photography course goes well - I'm hoping you'll pass on all the tips to me so I can pretend I'm going to it as well!

this is great, love that can and all the green tones. Lovely shot! Good luck at the class. I'm sure you'll do the 365 name proud!

@helenmoss Well so far we've done introductions and got homework! I'm sure it will pick up pace - lovely cross section of people though.

I really like the colours here. It's a great shot! I would say keep the variety going - some with a bit of proecessing, some SOOC. I try something different everyday and find it really keeps me on my toes.

that could be framed!!! love it!!!!!

This is such a great object focus. I love the feeling of waiting.

To edit or not to edit - that's the question isn't it? This looks fine cross-processed, sometimes that technique brings out something extra in a photo.
