    Default Terns on the beach

    I was working on this during split toned week:eek: I used a split tone effect in LR and Nik Cross Balance (slight) to change the colors and then I levelled the horizon - I just read Digital Basics again - the first time I ready it I didn't know enough to utilize it but this time I understood it - and used Artie's levelling technique.

    I'm not sure this is worth keeping but I keep going back to it so thought I'd share.

    Cheryl, Beautifully done. If it were mine I might tone down the brightest whites a little. I really like the way you added some drama with the comp. Nice work with the toning.

    I agree, nicely done. I also like the crop you've used. At first I thought I might loke to see a touch off the botoom, but that would have put your horizon too close to center, and the expanse of beach also is a more natural view if these guys.

    Like the perspective and processing on this, Cheryl. Denise makes a good suggestion about toning down the bright whites. Nice capture!

    Excellent composition, Cheryl. Love the perspective and the split tone effect really works well here. One more vote for toning down the highlights. Excellent work.

    I think it's worth keeping. I also agree that a touch off the whites would be nice but I really also like it as is. The toning is very special - you did a great job interpreting the scene, Cheryl.
