Thank you, everone! I liked the original (the circular polarizer really deepened that cloudless sky!) but I've had fun playing with Flood, too. I've got to give it a rest now... No more floods, this month! ;) #2673544

Chris Budny April 23, 2006 0

Many thanks, folks! I appreciate the comments. The "unflooded" version of this same image doesn't seem to have quite the same punch as this. #2676412

Chris,

Congratulations! Very creative work. I wish I had thought of it. A real winner. #2799892

Chris Budny May 22, 2006 0

Thank you both, guys, so much! Definitely the "flooded" image I'm most happy with, from my experimentation with that filter! Certainly adds a punch to the original image! #2800664

Mary Clarke May 22, 2006 0

Might be your final flood filter image for a while but it is DARN COOL!!! There is flood filter use and there is FLOOD FILTER USE! Yours is the Latter...well done! Congrats Christopher!! #2802801

Sam Britt July 05, 2006 0

I really like this. Excellent use of the flood filter. Congratulations (a little late) on your finalist.

Sam #2989357

Chris Budny July 06, 2006 0

Thank you, Sam... It is a fun filter to play with; I got a little carried away, initially, flooding everything! #2992584

Sam Britt July 06, 2006 0

I know what you mean, I got carried away with Flaming Pear's Flexify as well - I was mirror-balling everything! #2992666

Judith MacArthur September 24, 2006 0

This is one of my favorites, Chris...but you have too many for me to choose from! :-) Judy M. #3351664

Chris Budny September 24, 2006 0

Thank you very much, Judy! I seem to enjoy the software work on photos, as much as the taking of photographs... always interesting to me, to see what can come out of an otherwise ordinary image! #3355429

Amanda D. Austwick July 22, 2012 0
