Oregon

This is a Lock at Cascade Locks in Oregon. It is based on a photo I took in 2013. I used Photoshop CC, a texture, some painting, and especially Layer styles. My camera is a Nikon d7100, I used a Tamron 10-24 lens.

Love it. I think I would like it even more if the upper part containing the blue sky were cropped.

I like the overall effect but would tweak a couple of things. In the area over the water on the horizon I would minimize the dark spots and make that area brighter to pull the viewers eye through the image. I would also lessen the texture overall by about 50%. Just my take- not to say it works for you. :smile:

Hi Jeff :wavey: Bob echoed my thoughts perfectly...... reworking the area over the water would make this fine image even better :smile:

The painterly effects work really well here, Jeff. Congrats on a well deserved WP.
