A Girl & Her Pole...


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   A Girl & Her Pole...
A Girl & Her Pole...
Entered in Digital Darkroom because I spent some time in Elements gaining just the right feel for this image. I added diffuse glow, added contrast, underexposed, and then added the filter "paint daub" and "smudge stick" to give it the slightly painted, unperfect look I wanted. It also darkened up the reflection (which was SOOC) Please comment and critique. Just having fun with this! Have a great day!!!

  I love the colors on the water, and the reflection---particularly of the dock and girl---while I assume the dock sits right at water's level, it almost looks like it rises well above the water.

  Christopher, Sherri, & Tamera ~ Thanks so much for your wonderful compliments! Yes, the dock does sit right at water's level, Christopher. I think the color gives it the appearance of being higher than it is. Thanks everyone!

  Datha, you are so sweet! Thanks for stopping by again. I love capturing moments that leave an impression - Hannah looked so cute out there fishing...if she caught one she didn't know what to do with it. She just called the fishes her friends and asked where their mommy and dady were! So funny! Thanks again!
