Vernal Fall Blur

[Indranil Sircar]

This is one of my favorite theme... I had taken this image of the Vernal Fall in December last year using 1/5 sec exposure on a tripod. For processing, I used fract and few other adjustment layers. Adjusted opacity with masks and painted over to expose parts of the original image. Also, adjusted the color temp to make it a bit warmer. Hope you like it...

Indranil, I really like this a lot. The fractalius gives it a nice look - like dry ice vapors. I like the secondary waterfalls on the left hand side and the way the water flows around the rocks.:S3:

A very fantasy like image, I would expect to see Sméagol head popping out, the frac effects accentuate's the falling water...Well Done

Very sweet and calming. Love the rich browns and light blues.

Wow. This is very striking. It really rocks (pun intended). You did a great job with composition and processing. Did you use one of the built-in Fractalius presets or build your own? It really works well with the subject.

I like the composition. The Fractalius effect imparts electricity to the waterfall blur.

Gary took the words out of my mouth. The waterfall has somewhat of a "lightening" look to it. I like this a lot. :)

Lovely Indranil...I love the effect on the water!

I do like it a lot Indranil! This is a wonderful spot in Yosemite and you have made a super image from it. The fract work is perfect and gives the water a cool electric glow. I love that one little dribble on the left edge.

Very nice water blur and the fract adds to it well!

Thank you all. I appreciate it.

Hi Dennis, I started with Glow 100 and then changed the setting.
