This picture is awesome. How did you do it. #1346633

Thank you Janice, these are eels photographed on a very sunny day, pretty much as I took it, cropped in PS Raw and a slight adjustment of contrast and sharpen - I was trying to achieve a sort of abstract appearance rather than the eels as fish. #9189415

You have a terrific gallery, Barbara. As I ambled through it, this popped into view, and my immediate reaction was "(Shiver) --- fantastic!"
The sheen on both the eels and the water is wonderful. The abstract you created by cropping is superb, including the diagonal composition. GREAT job! #9205220
