Photography->Manipulation
I took this on boxing day when my family went for our boxing day walk. The original of this photo was slightly overexposed and had a really soft focus and with the sun behind the tree it gave a real dreamlike quality to it. I also liked the fact that they were venturing towards this white nothingness beyond the fence and this exaggerated the dreaminess of the whole photo. Then I manipulated it with paint shop pro and this is the outcome. What do you think? Any criticisms, thoughts, suggestions? Thanks a lot for looking.

An interesting effect- I agree with Winona

I could have been a lot of things- I became the most important things- a husband and a father.
An interesting shot. My first impression was that I didn't like it, but on closer examination I must say that it is well balanced and composed and I agree that it has a sort of water colour effect. I wondr though if you might have turned up the contrast more and made it really stronger and more like a water colour? Just a thought.

You did a nice job with Paint Shop, giving it a soft effect. Kind of a enchanting and dreamlike as you said.

nice way to fix a photo that doesnt come out exactly like you wanted it.
i love the work you have done on Paint Shop with this image... but i would like to see the original for comparisons sake.
any way well done... good shot and good Paint Shopping

Question: is the glass half full or half empty......
Answer: dont care about silly things like that just enjoy the drink
Hey Aston,
I think you've given the image a great feel, in line with the "flaws" of the original, kind of turning a sows ear into a silk purse. One thing that might improve it is adding some gradient colour to all that whiteness. I was thinking a radial gradient with the centre of the sun as the radiating point, or some kind of starburst effect, maybe pastel pink or blue light, just so it's not simply detail free whiteness in so much of the image. You've already got the comp, no problem there.
