Reflecting Gulls

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted August 26, 20091,015 views11 comments

Still playing around with the PS water reflections. The initial image was taken against a bright but overcast sky. The birds & sky were desaturated and the contrast increased. Water and reflections added in PS. Your comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated while I meander down this path...

I like the effect, Marc. Nice job keeping the reflection slightly darker than the original image

You have created a wonderful image. It's easy to overdo PS effects, but I think you have found a good balance and cause viewers to look twice to see that it's not real. It's simple and complex at the same time. Extremely well done!
