78 Jul 22 Reply Great idea Sunil, it now looks a bit like a graphic novel image, maybe Gotham City?

78 Jul 22 Reply Much improved especially with a bigger Cabin.

78 Jul 22 Reply Jim, this has changed the whole feel to Mitch's version, now it hints at some form of horror movie creature, and as it made me think more it gets my vote.

78 Jul 22 Reply Thanks Brenda,

These are Black Tip Reef Sharks, plus there was a Zebra Shark playing in our bubbles!

It's actually a rock behind the right hand shark, but whatever it is still distracts so I've removed it, plus lightened up the left hand approaching shark. I then removed the Purple colours using Camera Raw again, and then removed the Blue edges to the main sharks tail.

78 Jul 22 Comment Hi Mitch
Super capture of a moment in time, and the Rose really makes it more poignant. It doesn't matter if you put the Rose there or not, its about the impact the Rose adds, and yes in the past I have moved flowers and flags to make the image (but always put them back where they were found).

I'm not sure about the mono effect on the sky as it now just looks drab, so preferred a muted version. The jury is out on mono for the plaque and I'm leaning towards this being in mono rather than colour so as Helen says the Rose becomes more important.

I also prefer the verticals to be more upright, these are seriously leaning in, so I did a twiddle in transform to straighten thing up, but this is a personal choice.

78 Jul 22 Reply Do you have your changes to post Helen, it sounds like you've hit most of the points.

78 Jul 22 Comment Hi Helen

A lot of work to recover this image, and well done on the final result. Be wary of the order that you process, Denoise first else any other extractor or sharpening will also affect the noise.

I suggest the following crop to keep the focus on the interesting middle section.

78 Jul 22 Comment Hi Sunil

A lovely capture but possibly a bit too central, and too much sand, so my suggestion is to crop down to bring the focus on the lovely rock.

I also darkened down the very top bright sky, and the bit of sand on the left of the rock.

As for the boat, I would keep it as it gives scale and context.

78 Jul 22 Comment Hi Jim

A pleasing scene where the leading line from the bottom left changes to the snow line that takes us up to the top of the mountains.

I preferred the clouds in the Original, and they would need the same processing as the final image to get the sky colour right (I didn't try). I also feel the Barrel and Cabin could do with a lift, because as you say they are important in the image but look a bit lost.

78 Jul 22 Comment Hi Brenda

I like the pose where they symmetrically cross necks, but really want to see their faces, I've never seen a 'rear end' win anything.

In Original 2 they stand out from the background better, and the fern on the bottom right doesn't seem so obvious compared to the final version, although the colours feel more natural. Maybe there is a middle ground between these 2 images but do watch for the fern not becoming too distracting.
