Full Version: branches, reflections

This looks good. Good colors. There were a couple of posts previously on LL where the reflection was the entire photo, or nearly so, and they didn't get the best reviews, but I think this one scores pretty well.
Personally I don't like the blue tint to the branches. Everyone gets an opinion. I'd drop the blue saturation by probably 50%, and since that would make the blue in the water appear 'washed out' - pardon the pun, I'd lower the blue luminance by 60-65% or so to compensate.

Real nice - is that natural color or did you tweak in PS? If that's what the camera captured leave as is - or de-saturate a little.

Perhaps Photoshop's "photo filter" layer using a warming filter setting would help get rid of the coolness in the shadows without having to desaturate the blues?

Yeah, that could work... hadn't thought of it.

Mike, I've tried for less blue...it bothered me too. I only know color for a couple years, I'm using LZ.
