Amusing myself.

[JohnP]

I've been sat on my backside with nothing better to do than have a twiddle with this image using Photomatix Pro5, I've not used the software much since I purchased about three weeks ago. You will probably think this is total c**p if you do just say so, it's not really my thing but I kinda like it. Maybe I should twiddle more often... on the other hand maybe not... The original image had been previously edited as it was taken some time ago.

like the image but the colours seem a little too strong ?

Yes Heather I agree but for some reason I quite liked it but I'm not sure why...

As a photo I like it, but the volume could go down a tad on the colour

[Heather]

it does give it an almost surreal look

Heather... I think you have hit the nail on the head.

I think the colours are a little too much for me too. But that is only my opinion.

I wonder if an almost square crop would work. It would take out the boat that I find a bit overdone on the right and crop to the natural line on the left created by the building and it's reflection. I can see why you were drawn to this picture; well worth the effort you've put into it!

I agree with Heather - tone the colours down?

Those reflections are wonderful John.

 

Looks like a well interesting place to wander around, in summer of course, when it's lovely and warm!

 

Your processing is far better than mine, so I shall not comment on any of that....!

That's funny Annie!  You must have written your reply just as I was having another twiddle... The shot was taken a while ago in Gloucester Historic Docks.

I remember these pictures John. They are the place where I never knew they had docks/quayside are they not? I loved them the first time round..

 

Just cannot think of the place

When you said amusing yourself I expected a totally different post   very colourful image though...
