Christmas Lights

[denise ippolito]

I posted a similar shot of this before it had a filter effect. Re-shot w/o filter and solarized thru color-efex-I thought it looked like it was decorated with Christmas lights. Is the house too bright?

I like the effect Denise,
I would tone down the house almost to its original color in the reflection, you need to match both up...:cool:

Oh My! How impressive is that? I see Gus's point ,and I'm not skilled enough to offer much more (other than I love it). Maybe if I stick around here long enough, I might learn to do work closer to this level :D

Gus is right on! The house looks "off" and it's because it's nowhere close to what you're seeing in the reflection below. I'd bring the midtones down on the house and maybe even lighten the reflection up to make the two meet in the middle.

Cool effect here, Denise! I do think it looks like you made it on a "lite brite"!!!
