[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I always thought that our Creator did a great job with our four seasons. But, with Winter, he has really exaggerated with his special effects and their random recurrence. Six months of snow, cold and winds, this is too for me!

However, God, with his wisdom, gave us a brain and, the human intelligence created Photoshop! That allows me to propose the vision I have sometimes, when winter is boring. Golden snow like wheat… Green clouds looking like summer fields...Blue tropical sky… Smooth winds… Beach and picnic… Steel band and reggae…
All is possible! :)

Thanks to Tracey for this HPP theme.

Technically, I converted the RAW photo in JPG, cropped a little, added contrast, used the invert function and many tools like curves, selective colors and saturation. I added the Original version in workshop.


Thanks for your visit and comment!

Have much LOVE for this weekend!

Hi Annie,
Normally I'm not enthusiastic about HPP. I like the natural way :-) Anyway I like this special one. Great color contrast, excellent view well presented. Like the idea my dear Annie.

Olá, Annie!

theme and your note is very good too :o)
Congratulations and many TFS!!

Best regards,

Hi Annie

I can see that there was LOTS of adjustments here. Like the contrast between the gold and the blue. Composition is sound in either the original or the HPP version.

Hi Annie, long winters will do that to you:)great PP work
fits the theme perfectly.
well done.

Hello Annie,

Unlike you, we are not used to long periods of snow, so I have not tired of it, yet!

This is a lovely original photograph and though I tend to like things as God intended them, your treatment of the photograph has wakened me up! You have achieved what all good artists try to do; make people look at things in a different way. I see more clearly the clouds, the composition, the textural details, the importance of the spire ... in fact everything does look different and the brain has to reassess it all.
Well done!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Annie,

I love the use of the saturation! Nice bold colors and nice effect. I have experimented with heavy saturation as well and it can be alot of fun!! Great POV!!

well done!
regards,
Christian

Nice Imagine my friend!Greetings.

Bonjour Annie
Resultat spectaculaire. Les couleurs du ciel contrastant avec ce jaume comme un champs de moutarde.
Bien reussi.
Dot

Hello Annie,I read your notes with interest.
We are fortunate to have amazing brains that can very quickly decode the usual from the unusual.
The view may be slightly different Annie, but this particular church is becoming very much your own!So even with the altered colours, it is still recognisable as one of yours.
It is good fun to change things occasionally isn't it?
Good work.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Dear Annie

As I wrote to Jafar and Daniel, I really don't know where is the border of an image and a photo... in the other hand, its not clear how much we are able to make changes to a photo until it convert to an image.
Anyway I like the result of your HPP...TFS

Regards, ALIREZA :))

hello Annie,
This is some dramatic pp work with vivid colours and contrasts.
I love how the spire plays such an important part of the compo.
Very original and creative.
A valentines hug to you...
Joni

beautiful pp work you done, Annie.. perfect one for this week theme.. good work.. i imagined it took lots of time doing this.. Have a lovely weekend..

regards, terry

Hi Annie,
Beautiful presentation. Amazing colors. Very good HPP.
TFS.
Congratulations,

PAulo.

This is work we see seldom from your hand
I like it very much
I recognize some "Vincent van Gogh" yellow and that brings me at home.
By the way this is the first time I see a passport photo of you in the introduction. You are a beautiful lady.

Hello Annie
Experiment is a very good way to test and taste new ways, and this is a great surprise in you, so radical it is. However I appreciate the boldness of your, is very eyecatching, very well contrasted and composed, and has a strong graphic impact.
Have a great we, mb

Bonjour Annie.

Super photo. J'aime beaucoup les couleurs et la composition : on dirait un combat de coq entre le ciel et la terre. ;-)

Amicalement

Hi Annie

You're right as we have managed to use alternatives when things become too much to tolerate. Nice color palette, a nice hope to sunnier days.

Have a nice weekend and TFS

Although this is highly saturated with strong colours but some how it has worked due to complimentary contrast and the foreground structure. Well done. Regards

Delightful enhancements to winter with the use of imagination and post-processing:) Philosophically and creatively appealing, good composition and color interplay, and excellent detail and texture for visual interest. Well done!
