With a little imagination, this could be a landscape of big mountains with a lake in Death Valley. The foreground is a give away C&C welcome
Photoshop might be more effective than imagination - I think that someday I will take a photograph of a naked lady, and make her nipple look like a cairn on top of a mountain, her pubic hair like some scrub in the valley in the middle distance, and her legs like distant mountains... so you can make a puddle look like a lake.
So, I'm not sure what you're trying to say about the picture...Just in case: Photoshop wasn't used at all. Straight NEF to JPG conversion.
What I am saying about the picture is that photoshop could be used to make the puddle look more like a lake
OK, I'm willing to try that, because I feel it lacks something. Do you have any suggestions in that way? I.e. layers, filters?
