Intriguing low light capture (but it must have been REALLY bright for those weird settings to have worked out (which they DID)! #1549139Dale Hardin October 19, 2013
Thanks Michelle. Yes, it was a very bright and beautiful day on the river in Northern Oregon. I'm guessing you figured out that I might have done a bit of a tweak in Photoshop. :o) #10876006Memoriee G. Sconce October 21, 2013
Nice feel to this one and photoshop is our darkroom so great job😉 #10878289Susan Williams October 22, 2013
Nice work on this one, Dale. I like how the light falls and the reflections reaching into the foreground. It shows isolation in a different light - a man doing what he enjoys. #10878505Dale Hardin October 22, 2013
Thank you Memoriee.Thanks a a lot Susan. I accented the light using dodge and burn as well as blending modes. #10878545

Great capture, Dale. Thanks for commenting on my Morro Bay image. I have more images from Morro Bay on my website http://classicefficacy.smugmug.com/ #10879577Dale Hardin October 23, 2013
Thank you, Marcel, and thanks for the link. I found some superb imagery and excellent work. Was hoping to see a bit more of the Morro area though. :o) #10879613Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
