Fall afternoon on Shell Bank Bayou
« on: November 10, 2013, 10:29:00 am »

Took this floating thru Maurepas Swamp in Southeastern Louisiana.
Not sure if it looks as silvery as it could be.
Will welcome any comments and critiques.
Thanks,
Richard

Wonderful image!
But I would crop away the lower part of the reflections for not having the water-land border in the middle.
The trees and the light there IMO are the strong element in the image and the reflection adds to it,
but too much water alsdo distracts from it and makes this very static composition.
You also might want to make the yellow filter effect even stronger, if you made this from a conversion.

Hello Christoph,
Thank you for the suggestion. A little crop from the bottom really helped. Tried adding more in the yellow channel, but it 'drowned out' the veil of leaves so I adjusted the lighter tones in 'curves' which made some difference.
It surely a good thing to get such fine help !
