(2898) [2008-09-14 14:19:54] | Hello, Bev.
This is just a thought and I hope I've not completely destroyed your picture.
In PSE6 (which you also use) there is a useful feature in Enhance - Adjust Lighting - Shadows/Highlights. There are three sliders, "Lighten Shadows", "Darken Hightlights" and "Midtone Contrast". With this I lightened the shadows just a little and darkened the highlights just a little too: I didn't touch the other slider.
This I have found to be one way of dealing with a sky which is too light - it's all right if you're careful but it does wierd unnatural things if you overcook it.
Anyway, just a thought, Bev. See what you think!
Best Wishes,
John. |

Saturation -27%

To really add some more finishing touchess you have to teke a few minutes more, but this way you get the picture.

It's a beautiful and very interesting place to stay. |

 My Street - Even older than me! (62) Royaldevon
(8187) |
 Photo Shop | Royaldevon
(8187) [2008-04-10 01:22:49] | Hello Everyone,
This is my street in April!
What weather!
After I took this, the snow turned into a blizzard and the street was quickly under a couple of inches of snow. Sadly, it never stayed long enough for good shots on the following day!
Best wishes,
Bev :-) |

 PhotoFiltre | Hendrika
(17832) [2008-04-07 01:49:31] [1] | Bev, this is just to show you what PhotoFiltre (free) can do as alternative for the flood filter.
Open new black canvas 800x800.
Open your picture and copy - paste as new - rename as flood.
Use Filter/Deform/Lake reflection and after that Image/Flip vertical - Adjust - up brightness and contrast and crop the part you like looks good as a reflection, then Edit/Copy and Edit/Paste on the new black canvas.
Click on original picture and use the square called transparant colour p then click on the BG and that will get transparent.
Do Edit/Copy and Edit paste also on the black canvas and move untill satisfied with the position.
Then I got your copyright sign from the original and pasted it at the bottem.
I think now you have double sun/fun....

 Fire - the symbol of love (64) Royaldevon
(8187) |
 PhotoFiltre | Hendrika
(17832) [2008-04-06 03:41:52] [1] | WhatI thought would work - did not work.
You provided a feeling of fire, but not too much sothat the beauty of the rose remained intact.
This is just too much, but I wanted to show it to you anyway.
Have a nice dat,
