Wanda B. Anderson December 11, 2007

Absolutely stunning colors, Les! Your gallery is awesome. What created the DEEP blue water? Was it the time of day, sky or what? This is just perfect! #5195081

Les Rhoades December 11, 2007

@ Wanda,
To answer your question about my photo; (Betula Treasure) I got the blue color in the water by duplicating the image on a separate layer and choosing the "multiply" mode in the blend field. It saturates the color.
