My Special Findings

[Verbal]

I found this tucked away in the forest...



And then I found this BEAUTIFUL little waterfall. Trust me, these shots do it NO justice whatsoever.

Nice one verb, I like em. theres nothing better than finding a waterfall or something very few people, or maybe no one has seen before. good job

It's a five minute walk from my house, then a 45 minute hike. =)

more awsome shots, i really like them, looks like a really cool waterfall

 

[Verbal]

Thanks =)

I found a fun little trick with those waterfall shots... it messes with the colors a bit but gives it a really fun feel, I think.

It does mess with the colours, all right. Looks like these use selective colouring for their effect - do they? Or what else is your trick?

And I think your feet would have fallen off deep-frozen in a short while, wouldn't they, if you had done like anicole is suggesting (being forever the country girl ), hm!?

I used Wally's BW conversion, and then I set the Black and White gradient layer to Darken. Then I made a copy of the original picture layer, and upped the contrast so that the green really shines through. So it's not quite desaturated, but almost...except for the greens, which are vibrant. I think it gives it more of a jungley feel. =)
