Hi folks ...have not posted an " over processed " image for a while ....
So here you go ....
Taking the original and reflective scene and pushed it a bit further than i normally do , image taken around 11:15 am . Brutal light and very hot ....around 40 degrees C at the only available waterhole in Nxai Pan NP in Botswana .
My aim was to mimic somehow Mr Delaney´s tonal and color approach to his elephants from Etosha .... during the process i decided to give the image a Fuji Velvia touch with reduced opacity . Colors separated in LAB mode .....
By knowing this will be not meet all tastes .....still show the experiment .
