[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Good Morning Everyone,

Today, I would like to share with you a hidden gem above the banks of Lake Ullswater, in The Lake District. When I say 'hidden', I mean that you have to climb quite a steep path above Aira Force before you discover it.

The mood is so tranquil with mainly the noise of the cascading water breaking the silence.

The water was eye-catching but equally interesting were the shadows on the rocks above the little cascade. The leafy shades resembled black lace decorating the surfaces.

For the first time ever, I tried combining three different layers in PSE6. I will be interested to know what you think so please don't be afraid to feedback on any aspect of the photograph. Bev :-)

In response to Bri's suggestion of the original, i have posted it as a w/s.

Hi Bev
The title sums this image up perfectly, the black shadow does look like a black lace cover. The use of layers is great but it may be worth uploading a workshop of the original so some comparrison can be made between the two. This shot has great colour, detail and depth. TFS

Hi Beverley

The dappled shadow across the top of the small cliff to the right of the cascade does indeed resemble lace. A tranquil & frelaxing scene full of greenery. Tfs!

Hello Bev,
My pp skills are rudimentary at best and I must commend you for experimenting with layers. A scenic tranquil scene. I have often been attracted to this type of scene. A slight adjustment of contrast and sharpening may enhance the image. Best regards. Danilo

Hi Bev, i acn see what drew you to this beautiful looking spot! Those mottled tree shadows are wonderful and the colours very lush. For me perhaps the stream is a little too centrally placed in the frame, but i don't know what the surroundings were like here so you may have had no choice. A lovely image to lift the heart though, well done.

Very peaceful and serene. This is like a breath of fresh air. I love places like this and you've done a great job of capturing the natural beauty. Fantastic lighting, shadows, color, detail....MOOD!! TFS

Your pp work has added to the texture of the photo, it has certainly brought out the colours of the moss and lichen. I like the shadows on the rocks as well.

Well worth the hike and thanks for making the effort.

Hi Beverley,
Beautiful place,bela imagem.
Best regards,
Ralf
