Try saying that 3 times fast.

Taken by a friend of mine on a Nikon D90........Post work by me with color adjustments and contrasts in PS Elements.

Again...slightly out of my safety zone, but I couldn't help loving this on my Desk Top.

Plenty of eye candy to keep your busy and I hope you enjoy.

Any and all suggestions and critiques are more than welcome.

[said it five times - not too fast though - could make it - means another glass of wine is recommended LOL]
Perhaps does not work for us Poles - we only have shells and shores plus other lie 'chrząszcz .....'

You're right. I love that the water is flowing over them. Lots of nice variety, both color and design. Makes a great DT.

Your friend took a great shot and you evidently enhanced it perfectly. A great desktop Opie.

One smart fellow he felt smart
Two smart fellows, they felt smart
Three smart fellows, they all felt smart.

Try saying that one.

"that 3 times fast".... piece of cake! :P

Kidding aside, I think you've done a nice job in your "wandering", Paul.

This has a nice shimmering quality to it. Not really a crit here, but a thought... I'm wondering how this might look with some subtle change to the hues here.. specifically the yellows.. maybe a slightly cooler white balance? Anywho.. that's just the tinkerer in me.. very nice desktop indeed.

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.

I can't even say it once. ..Wow! Paul, this is excellent. So crystal clear and full of color. You did a top notch job with the editing on this shot by your friend. This makes a very refreshing desktop. Kudos to both of you.

Yeah Paul, it works great as a dt, soft in the corners, probably a lens thing, but not so soft as to be bothersome. The light on the water really is lovely.

I agree: It makes a lovely desktop... The shells glitter in the water like gold and gemstones, and the water looks so cool and inviting.
