i might have exaggerated the orton effect... :)
i actually didn't see the bucket until I saved the picture into my computer, but i was happy it was there. i hope you enjoy it!
I'm not sure what the Orton effect is, but I think this image seems fuzzy and grainy. If that's what you were going for, you nailed it. Good subject but not my cup of tea.
Beautiful image.. i love this shot. excellent use of soft focus effect, the colors are very dramatic. I just wish the tank or whatever it is under the willow tree wasnt there, but this is still a nice artistic shot. good work.
