    Retro,
    Nice pictures you have here. clap.gif
    You used the DOF in the 1.st one and you captured the pollution on the second one with a large DOF.:D
    Strange, pollution this way, in a country like Norway ... ne_nau.gif

    I mean that the red/orange in the water looks like polution from some factory or whatever. headscratch.gif

    This fact looks strange to me in Norway where people are much concerned about environmental issues.

    I want to go to Norway too :cry
    Great captures, I like the first one a lot, because of the vivid colors, and the subtle out of focus area on the back, I think this is not a DOF right? or it is one? headscratch.gif
    Anyway, good job thumb.gif

    I really like your first shot. A strange look, allmost model like. On purpose?

    The second pic colour in the water, is it from a peat bog? Might make a nice whisky...

    thanks for the comments!
    The out of focus areas in the first one is done in pp, experimented a bit since i thought the background was a bit busy and didn't want to crop. Decided to keep it since i thought it was a interesting effect.

    No pollution in #2, (or very little at least) I wouldn't hesitate to drink that crystal clear mountain creek water..the redish colour are probably from the sand bottom and a bit of iron + the light reflecting in the water..

    Very nice, I really like the first. Did you use a gaussian blur in the BG?

    Thanks for the comment Dan. I used a photoshop filter called "digital Film Tools 55mm - center spot" However I guess all it does is gaussain blur with a round gradient mask. Could easily been done without the plugin.
