Cattails, Fog and Topaz

[Dave Leroy]

I was fooling around with Topaz Denoise and Topaz Adjust and this was the result. Seems a little desaturated but still different.

Dave, Now that is cool!! I like it alot!! Well done. That glimmer of water is great!!

[Julie Kenward]

I like it, too! I am not sure about the funky wave thing going on just below the sun in the gray area but I love the rest of it!

[Dave Leroy]

Thanks Ladies.
Denise I was really happy the little water patch turned up also. Luck really, I was so focused on sun and fog didn't really notice it. That water and the texture and colour of the sky are what i like, kind of water-colour painting look.

Jules the wavy thing is actually an over grown blackberry patch with individual canes sticking up. A second pass of Denoise did that at the end.
Interesting.
Thanks again, Dave

Hi Dave,
For me, I like the colour of the sky and those beautiful reeds. Very nice!

Hi Dave (Nice Name;)) I watched a demo of the Topaz products at the Photoplus show in New York City this past Sept. They were doing some incredible things. I have the Topaz adjust and vivacity and have used the noise reduction but still learning the other effects. Your shot looks great and you are well ahead of me.

Stunning composition and colors, it would make a great bookmark if cropped in half.

Good Idea Fabs and thanks for looking. Dave
