A Girl & Her Pole...

Description

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!!!

Chris Budny level-deluxe May 09, 2007

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. #4263424

Autum Rhoades May 09, 2007

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! #4263994
