Before & After

[Guyzerr]

I didn't like the drab gray sky so I fiddled with it a bit. I still have some work to do but it's getting close.

Wow. That is impressive. Great pictures and great editing!

 

[Thornless]

I like the before better myself

:homo:

Nice job editing though. It is believable.

But the blue is so.... blue.... and makes the pictures seem so stark.

It should be believable. I extracted the blue from a different picture that had that as the entire background so it's about as real as it can get. If you didn't see the before shot you would never know.

 

[AstriaPorta]

very nice

 

[sexysadie]

I think you're fabulous!!! Great work!

 

[Guyzerr]

Thanks ladies.

 

[AnitaBeer]

I think you did a good job, but I like the originals better. The 2nd edited one is the better of the two tho for sure.

 

[Dana]

Needs to be blurred a bit more

Well Dana I said I wasn't quite done yet didn't I. When you say " blurred " what are you referring 2?

 

[Guyzerr]

Dana how about answering a question for once. I'm waiting to hear what you have to say.

 

[the terrible]

gray sky better, great photos, what kind of camera you got?

 

[Guyzerr]

I got a Canon 50D with a 100 - 400mm IS bolted on the front.

I like the blue if we hadn't seen the originals, I don't think we'd have known.

That's my point and thanks for your reassurance.

People are free to like what they like and I have no objection to that or their comments. That's why I posted 'em. Some folks have mentioned clouds by way of rep and if I get some time I'll see if I can whack a few in there. It's time consuming and I haven't done it in a while so it might not happen. I'll see.

I know you said you weren't finished. what i mean by blurred is parts of the tree in the original photo are out of focus.

I can't really do much about those unless I take them out completely because they are in the background. Unfortunately that's part of photography one doesn't have any control over unless they are prepared to completely alter the shot ion an editor. That's something I'm not prepared to do. If the conditions are right I prefer to do it with the camera and my positioning. Unfortunately in this case I couldn't because of the terrain around me. Even parts of the ducks are not completely in focus and that sucks. Initally I posted the shots in a different thread because they are so unique and colorful. In this thread I was just fooling around because I was bored, I didn't like the gray background and I felt I couldn't bugger up the shot more than it was to start with.
