This is an older image that I just recently reworked. I am interested to hear any and all opinions on it.

Elan7e, 100-400, Provia, from kayak. Taken in the bayou behind my house.

Thanks!

Very beautiful warm light and I very much like the soft focus. I'd be tempted to crop a bit more off the left side of the frame so as to move the lighted vegetation more into the left side but that's just my particular taste.

No vaseline ... strictly PS. There is a tutorial on Luminous Landscape that describes using a Gaussian Overlay. I have been playing around with it for the last few weeks. It looks good on less than 5% of the images I have tried but occasionally it really improves them. I like it for a scene that is "dreamy" and when the normally sharp edges work against that.

Thanks for all the comments.

I like what you've done here. I'd love to see what this looks like with out the gaussian overlay.

I didn't save the file before the overlay but this is reasonably close to what it looked like.

Thanks again for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

Hey Jenny

I think I'd like this somewhere between the two .. maybe a tad less of the effect.

Getting an image horizontal from a kayak is AMAZINGLY hard .. you do very well.

I always enjoy your posts.

Cheers

This is an interesting effect, it certainly works well for this image. I like the quality of the light and the colors here. Very pretty image.

Beautiful shot, very effective technique. I like the unblurred version as well.

Jenny, Beautiful! The Gaussian overlay really works well here. I think some thing in the foreground might help a tiny bit.
