Reeds & Clouds

[Cheryl Slechta]

Cloud and reeds reflected in water at sundown. I used Nik Glamour Glow, slight Skylight Nik filter, a cooling filter on the top and a warming filter on the clouds, then a dry brush filter to give it an Oriental look.

Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated:)

It does have a nice warm oriental feel to it. I am wondering about the blank area near the right side. Maybe cloning some it? or cropping it out?

Beautiful tranquil image. I love the softness and colors.

Nicely balanced image Cheryl, I like the feel and the processing. I think it's very well done. Reminds me of calligraphy for some reason:)

Cheryl, I love this kind of shot with water and plants. The glow was a good idea and works well. What I might do on the right side is just add another reed in the little empty space there. Very nice!

Hazel, Denise, Jackie and Kerry - thanks for your comments. I added some reeds to the right space (not a very good job I'm afraid:(). The dry brush effect really looked better on a larger TIFF image.

Nice image and application, Cheryl.

Interesting pattern.

I like the orig Cheryl, and might just take out the one lone reed at the top RHS. Just in a bit, I think that would give it more balance and interest. Just a thought:)

Very nice colors and treatment. I've never seen Nik Glamour Glow used before.

Best,
Nicki

Another vote for the original.

I like the original better also. I never could get anything cloned or drawn that looked right (and I tried really hard). Thanks for all your nice comments:)
