Waiting for the right time.

Ive been waiting for a long time to get this shot.I had to wait until the leaves were off the trees and the sun would set in the right spot.I was sitting in the ditch for about an hour and a small herd of cattle decided to stand in front of my camera and watch me,just as the moment I was waiting for came the cattle moved out of the way so I could take the shot.I added the water via photoshop to break up the all black bottom of the frame.Hope you like it...ice

Like the shot a lot. IMHO I'd try to add about 25% more water effect (if it's possible) to eliminate even a little more black in the center.

I like the shot alot but agree with thdizzy about cutting out some of the black center. I played around with it in PSP and liked the results.

Thanks for the advice guys.You were right.I redid the shot and put more water in rather than take out some of the black.Is this any better.

Lovely shot iceman and i agree that the 2nd version is a big improvement, what method did you use to add the water??

iceman17

Thanks for lookin Gubbs.I used a plug-in from Flaming pear called..Flood..You have complete control over the water making process.It's the best ive seen yet.you can get a free 30 day trial with no water marks here

Give it a try and see how you like it.I dont use it all the time ,but sometimes it helps to give a shot that little extra something thats missing...ice
