A Girl & Her Pole... [Low Key Photography and Low Key Photographs]
Uploaded: May 09, 2007 03:20:46
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!!!

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. #4263424Sherri Gorman May 09, 2007
Beautiful!!! Wonderful colors and reflections!!! Great capture Autum!!! #4263527Tamera S. Phillips 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! #4263994Mike D. Perez May 09, 2007
