MORNING AT GETTYSBERG

[gary ellwein]

The image was obtained on the Gettysberg Battlefield near the Eternal Light Peace Memorial. I felt blessed to have the early AM fog. PP included Orton effect, and a touch of Nik CEP4 glamor glow. C & C appreciated.

[Hazel Grant]

Very peaceful as you intended. I am wondering if you would post the original too so that I can see what difference the Orton effect made. I'm still trying to conquor that technique.

[gary ellwein]

Hazel, here is the original. I also slightly darkened the sky with a selective curves adjustment. Thanks for the look.

Hi, Gary, the Orton effect is subtle but very nice. I like the fact that you cropped from the bottom on the original. Nice work:S3:

[Hazel Grant]

thanks. what a difference! I'm going to work on my Orton more. Guess success also depends on having a great photo to start with, and you do. Good work. Thanks for sharing.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Very pretty with a great transformation from the original.

[Nancy Bell]

Lovely. The deep saturated greens are perfect with the fog. Great composition with that very picturesque fence stretching thru the entire image and eventually fading into the distance and fog.

[Kerry Perkins]

Nicely done Gary. Green is one color that looks great with deeper saturation as you have applied here. The fog really created a nice moody feel. Very nice leading lines as mentioned.

[Mitch Carucci]

Beautiful rendering of a sad location.
