The story I told is basically how the shot came to be - whether you agree with my thought process or not, that is why I took the shot. The issue I had was harsher lighting than I wanted - time of day was a big factor and couldn't be helped.
Anyway, here is the shot I had to work with and some variations on what I showed you. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Original Image as shot: http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_4734.htm Alternate #1: http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_4734b.htm Alternate #2: http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_4734e.htm Alternate #3: http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_4734d.htm Image I showed previously: http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_4734a.htm -- Best regards, Bruce ============= I like the original and #2 and #3. You may have not found quite the optimal rendering yet. But, personally, I think #2 borders on it. Turn that into a black and white. I think it improves the shot to be able to see some indication of the sea. And if you don't mind, I might take the original and play with a bit myself, I am not bad at "artifying" things. Godfrey's good at rendering, maybe he has some suggestions. I'll post my attempt tomorrow. Hope that helps.
