34 Sep 17 Comment This is my favourite image this month. Your hard work has paid off. You've certainly attained the 'something beautiful' for your project. Everything you've done looks right. Well done!

You should have called it 'Key of Gee'		 Sep 16th
34 Sep 17 Comment I tried selecting the sunlit areas of the rocks (one area at a time) then used colour balance and hue/ saturation to get the sunlit areas the same colour / brightness as the shadowed areas. I then selected the whole of the two rocks and used the same controls to bring them back to the colour of the other rocks.
I also selected the lighthouse and used Nik Vivesa to brighten it and reduce the structure (I felt that the texture was a bit strong over that part). I did a similar thing to the lighthouse reflection.
I used selective colour to lighten the blues too, but that's just me being 'picky'.
I think you've done well with the image - it's good to experiment!

34 Sep 17 Comment I hope you survived Irma without too much loss.
I like your idea here and you've executed it very well. I know you said it was done in a bit of a hurry, so you're excused the niggly bits that could do with improving. The bits of green annoyed me, so I removed them with 'replace colour' then took it into Nik Vivesa where I increased the contrast and structure - purely for my own preferences.		 Sep 16th
34 Sep 17 Comment An interesting result from well captured images.
I've reduced the purplish colour, using hue / saturation and increased the contrast and structure with Nik Vivesa - but that's just my personal preferences. I think you've created a very special image from excellent captures. Well done.		 Sep 16th
34 Sep 17 Comment My first thought was 'this is too dark' but it grew on me. I like the composition and there are things in there that make me wonder how they work - like 'how does the boat stay in position, or does it rotate round the mooring post?'.
The use of flood needs a little more work, so that the ripples in the reflection have the same texture as the adjoining water, but overall you've got a good result. Well done.		 Sep 16th
