Playing with "Blacks" slider

Vrungel

I was playing with some photos in Lightroom and discovered that otherwise boring photos of splashing waves can be made interesting by simply sliding “Blacks” slider far enough to the right . One thing left to another, a little CS3 here and there, a small blue moon into the corner for the mood and here is result:

Quite dramatic. I rather like it.

Great work. It´s so inspiring and intense.
Maybe the color of the moon is oversatured, but still awesome.

It does change the whole feel of the image doesn't it.
Reminds me of molten lava, or some sort of astronomical explosion.
Experimenting can result in some pretty cool images ... Skippy

Very cool indeed!

Thanks for comments!
Now that I look at this again moon does seem over saturated a bit

Very interesting. Like it for sure. I think #1 tells things best.
More silhouetted beach rock formation under the splash would be neat
just for eye candy. But thats just me. The moon could be over hot.
Still it fits pretty well.
