Too Much?

[Harold Davis]

this is a spot i found this morning.....got bored sitting around the house so i went exploring down in miami. lets see if the miami crew can figure out where this is!!:D this is a total makeover for this scene. it was very bland with not much character so i made my own!! did i go overboard? actually taken at midday with overcast skys.

D300 with 18-200VR at 18mm, f/16, 1/250s, 0EV, ISO 200

post processing was done in capture nx. dont ask me what i did! i did quite a bit. really though, if you want to know just ask. i'd be glad to explain it!!

[Harold Davis]

i couldnt resist showing you the original, obviously unedited version!!!!

I like it..me thinks you need just a tich of CCW rotation. I wonder too what building on the 'blue' theme would look like? I so like blue.

:eek::eek:It's diner key marina in Coconut Grove. You should have called :confused::confused:

[Lance Peters]

Yes MR H - you should have called me too :) :) :)

I dot know - I think id like to see some contrast rather than just all one colour - really just thinking aloud - maybe the water left blue.

Hey buddy, WHY DIDEN'T YOU CALL ME???:( For this, you get twenty lashes...:eek::p:):D The orange hues are a wee bit too wild for me; maybe its old age...:eek::D Tone down the orange or perhaps experiment with the various filters in PS.

Hi Harold, Probably a bit too much orange but it's an interesting look and l'm guessing you had fun working on it?

[Richard Waas]

Harold,

Didn't you know you MUST call your fellow BPN members when you cross the border into Miami. You could get your privileges revoked. Look forward to getting together.... Richard

[Alfred Forns]

....... twenty lashes Harold :D:D:D:)

[Harold Davis]

is this better? when doing something like this, i should have walked away from it for a couple of days and come back to it. i agree it is too much. i desaturated the entire image, brightened and added contrast. i actually like it better. how bout you? thanks for the comments and many apologies to my miami friends:)

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi Harold,
Yes, much better - the first one looked as if the orange had had a caffeine boost!!! :D:D:D
Regards,
Nicki

Now see Harold...if you had posted this in OOTB nobody would have yelled at you! :D Okay, maybe Al...

Although it is HIGHLY saturated I like the original. However...I like the repost even better. I bet this would be lovely if you took it another step towards sepia/brown and left the orange as the undertone.

Nice composition BTW. :)
