Ok, your first name shall remain a mystery.. searched your profile page and all's I found were these couple of references;

"Hi Ted" .. and then.. 'Hi gr8fulted (Ted?)'.

Did take a quick look at the link(s) via your profile page, and got a chuckle (or, three) from your words placed. Such as..

"The gr8ful grind

A semi-regular attempt at creating something for the edification and amusement of a few sentient beings."


Right, where was me?

Cutting to the creative constructive critique..


Strong composition.. gorgeous setting. 'Idyllic', being the operative word.

Had to take a closer look at your image here, and basically downloaded and into Photoshop it went. As I wasn't quite sure if what I thought I was seeing on site.. was indeed what I thought I was seeing when I first opened up your image full-size.

I hope you don't mind.

Did a little Colour Balance correction, and here is the result:

Falling Water, Floating Swans - Colour Balance correction

Notably.. the 'colours' of your original display as a little 'cool' on my monitor. So, essentially warmed things up some (Reds, Cyans, Magentas were a tad prominent).


More curiosity on my part, than anything else.. meaning.. how does the adjusted image (the edited version linked) now look to you?

Regardless.. very nice work.

Both, behind the lens and in the editing chair on your part.


A tranquil slice of nature and place.. and on that note, thanks for sharing this one with us. :o)

Lovely waterfall Ted - nice scene all around. (I love the color correction and the swans by purmusic also.)

Gorgeous capture and scene, love the wonderful colours and the floating swans near the water fall. Bravo on this - Les rework is wonderful also
