I kept looking at the original of this and wondering what I could do with it to make it more interesting. I ended up doing a new layer via copy and running the "threshold" filter on it. I then mixed that back in with the background layer on which I lowered the opacity so it would show just a bit of color.
Kerry, This is OOTB! I think you are on to something here- I love how you can barely see the mountains in the BG. Not sure if it needs a rotation- I'm not crazy about the bush in the LC and I might do some clean-up cloning of some of the birds and shadows if it were mine.Overall a very interesting look you've created here!!I think it would be great to see the original for comparison-My personal opinion is- with a few small tweaks you've got yourself a winner!!Good job on this.
Thanks for posting the original-it needs a very very slight rotation.My problem for both is the clutter look on bottom-the bush and diff. shore lines-I guess I'd do a crop from bottom and clone the remains of the bush-I love the soft colors of the original. Maybe if you start off with something like this-I probably shouldn't have cloned the pelican at far left-
Kerry, Can you even understand the rambling?!! Sorry!!
