Another beauty Oscar !!! I like the framing and how well the color bends in with the image Might suggest taking a little of the bottom Excellent !!!

i'm taking that camera from you the next time i see you!!!!:D love it!! agree with al. would crop some off the bottom. great job.

very eerie and dreamlike. I noticed the cloud took on a blue hue. was that in the post processing or do you get that in the color ir images?

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Michael:
Normally I get the clouds white of the camera. On this one it happened in the post processing, which I'm still trying to learn and I'm experimenting with different options in cs3.
Thank you for your comments, they mean a lot.

At some point we are going to have to sit and develop a routine for these. A bit over-saturared for me (specially the cloud) but looking better all the time. Agree on shaving some off the bottom.
See you in a few :)

hey OZ!!! here's the crop i was telling you about today. went ahead and did a couple of other things to it too!! boosted the reds, added some magenta, and boosted the yellows. gradient tool on the sky. darkened it and added contrast to pop the clouds more. desaturated the entire image and added a little USM. ran NR on water and sky.\

how's that?!! good to see you and the rest of the gang today!! had a great time. cant wait to do it again!
