Rework…
This from the same setting as my first reflections image, but just getting more of the part of the creek/ditch that had some trees reflected in it and less ripples.
Anything
Is this a composite: No
Nikon D3400, ISO 100, f/8, 1/6, 105mm, converted to black and white. I did a slow shutter to try and bring out the slight rippling from the water and make it look more like a soft painting rather than a sharp reflection.
Very cool, but more contrast please!!
Interesting reflection image, but I was thinking along the same lines as Kris. I would like to see way more contrast. I find it looking very flat gray.
Vanessa,
I love the idea and your thought process, but like @Kris_Smith and @Harley_Goldman I would like to see more contrast. I hope you don’t mind, but I just hit auto contrast and this is what I came up with. Just something to give it a little more punch. The slow SS has produced a lovely impressionistic effect with the branches.
Maybe just a bit more brighter for me. I like the low contrast look.
This is a super reflection. The repeated patterns from what I assume were gentle ripples + your slow SS are enchanting. I’m with Igor on the contrast - you said you wanted it to be more like a painting, so the low contrast works well. Just brightening it up (move the histogram to the left) without increasing contrast would make the patterns easier to see.
Thank you all @Kris_Smith @Harley_Goldman @Ed_Lowe @Igor_Doncov and @Bonnie_Lampley for your feedback and suggestions. I did a rework based more on @Igor_Doncov and @Bonnie_Lampley suggestions to just brighten it up a tad and added a little contrast. I wanted it to have more of a soft look, so kept some of the gray. Wonder what you think now? Thanks again!
It is strictly your vision for your image. Your rework is an improvement but for me, I still much prefer Ed’s version.
Thank you for your rework @Ed_Lowe and thanks for your further feedback @Harley_Goldman . The more I look at what Ed did the more I like it!
