Tidal River

This was a very overcast day (as was most of the weekend) and the photo certainly didn't look like this sooc so I have played a bit in photoshop. So I will have to say that this is a great big cheat!!

[Cathy Donohoue]

And a really good great big cheat! Love your composition and tones.

While I am definitely not a fan of post-process, you took what may have been a grey, flat photo and turned it into something pretty special. Well done!

[Sassik]

Beautiful composition and it looks fabulous!

[hettie]

hehe! lovely "cheat" :)

[Lola]

Really beautiful shot, my two fav colors, purple and grey!

[Harriet]

It's only cheating if you claim that it really looked like this and it didn't. I love your processing, you took a picture that (I suspect) wasn't all that interesting and made it into something very cool. Nothing wrong with that, and I love the color!

[Tams]

Ooohhh well I like the purple cast, adds some moodiness!

[Danny G.]

If you are trying to make art (and you succeeded with this one), it is not cheating. Very nice image, the sky is lovely.

[Lynne R]
