Slow Water - Tight Comp

[Jay Gould]

Are these slow water/tight compositions processed sorta painterly part of OOTB? Doing these types of images is pure fun!

It is a beautiful image Jay. The composition is pleasing. Generally OOTB has filters applied or images that are changed from the original. But we are a accomodating group, and it is quite lovely.

Thanks Jackie; this is the original - I thought the processing my be sufficient change!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Well the original post certainly qualifies. You just need to mention what you did to it :S3:. Looks like you added a blue filter or changed the hue/sat?

[Jay Gould]

Processing:
LR: Highlights, Crop, Shadows, B&W Clipping, Clarity & Vibrance - basically changed everything!
PS: Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation - several channels, burning and dodging

Jay, blurs can be very OOTB. In fact, one of our upcoming themes is "blurs". As Jackie mentions, we really like to know how you processed the image. I love the emphasis you created on the flowing and bubbling blues of the water. Beautiful shade & texture variations, that even include the rocks. Keep on posting!

I very much like long exposures that include moving clouds and/or water with stationary objects. Your processing of the original post works very well, but I prefer the composition of the original photograph.
