great job,love the colours

Great artistic creation, such beautiful colors!! :D

Pure magic!

you are so sweet to answer all of these posts. i mean this in only the most constructive of ways: i think you need some constructive crit as well as praise. there’s very little energy here. there’s little story. why did you put the moon over the lake? what relevance does it have to the piece overall? other than being natural elements, do the two images speak to eachother? i want more – i want a more considered composition and color treatment. tell me something here – tell me a story.

Someone already said it: PURE MAGIC!

Absolutely beautiful, I just love the golds and browns against the sky, wonderful.

Wow, I just got up and my list is so full of wonderful comments Thank you everyone. Goriilap, thanks for pointing this out to me, I will explain. The original shot is a daytime shot which was over exposed and almost white, so I decided first thing to darken it and saturate a little. I ended up saturating a lot, to see what the effect would look like, and I liked the strong colours. The sky however was then blinding white and the whole thing looked like a colour negative, so I adjusted the level and added a dark blue gradient to a selected sky, and added some directional light. I liked the result, but the strongly lit part of the woodland didnt look right, so I decided to add the moon as an illusion for a light source. Thats it really. This kind of thing is new to me, so it could possibly just be good luck it turned out this way. Who knows, I may never be able to get this effect again LOL. Thanks again everyone.

This is fantastic!!!

Thanks Michael, Glad you like it.

Ah, this is gorgeous really!!!

Thanks Adela. I am quite suprised at the result on this work.

Awesome colours and the addition of the moon is a stroke of genius well done

Thanks Gnangarra. Glad you like the moon, its what gave me inspiration for the title.

I love it, plain and simple :)

Thanks Em, one of my favs now, but wasnt sure about it when I first posted it.

What can I say except; WOW!!!!! So full of rich colour. It is a wonderful shot.

Thanks Anthony. Glad you like it.

beautiful PP work. seamless and clean. you really put the moon composite together well. if this is new for you then bravo and keep ‘em coming.

Thanks JK. I have new spirit with this, and plan a few hours out this evening to get some nice shots to play with. More coming soon I am sure.

Wow, don’t know what else to say….speechless (and that’s rare); Just magical and the addition of the moon topped it off wonderfully.

Thanks Joyce. Its lovely to recieve so many wonderful comments on my work, especially in the case of this one as the techniquie is new to me.

Nice!

Thanks Graeme.

Nice effect

Thanks Hagen

Fantastic work, nannajul!

Thanks Mel, glad you like it.

wow and wow

Thanks Sean

Glorious image demonstrating skill and artisitic judgement.

Thanks Anthony, This is the first in my Moon series.

This is very well done. You have made good use of PS to manipulate the image.

Thanks Reaper, yes, it took quite some playing in Ps to get the effect. Same goes for “Moonglow”.

this one has movement in it. very very nice.

Thanks Coffetea.

Splendid, with or without the moon.

Thanks Sprinkle. Glad you like it. I think I would have to rethink the title without the moon though LOL

WOW GREAT PIC!

Thanks Lise. Enjoyed working on this one.

I like what you’ve done here. You’ve taken a lovely scene and given it some tasteful modifications that have given it a surreal look. It’s a scene that draws the viewer in for a closer look. Nicely done.

Wonderful,like magic,i love.

Very colorful! I love it.

Thanks EC.

Thanks Micmac

Thanks MissChristina

Thanks Steven, Glad you like it

Thanks Mineylloyd.

Beautiful image.

Thanks Frogster

Not sure I can add much to the comments here, you have gotten many, but I like the soft feel but strong tones of the picture. I think I could learn a lot from what you did here. Good contrast as well.

Thanks Matt, all done with saturation, gradients, and a lot of dodge.

Lovely colours and the moon is real?

Thanks Deon, and No, unfortunately, the moon isn’t real, its done with a brush.

Ooooh, I like the “different and new”. The colors are nice, and the added moon just tops it all off. Well done!

Thanks Kimberley – Glad you like it

gorgeous color and peaceful setting!

Thanks Budrfli

Julie, this is lovely… feels very peaceful… wish I was there… ;)

Thanks Lucinda

Wonderful colors,Julie!!!

Thanks Lance

This is awesome. The colors are so pretty and the moon is perfect.

Thanks Pmistric

You did really well here Julie. You sure salvaged the image and made a wonderful picture with it. I like the moon but the bright sky on the right doesn’t fit. It indicates the sun is still up or has just set in that general direction and you can’t get a full moon with the sun in that position. What I would do is darken the sky there as well and then add a halo of diminishing brightness around the moon. Or you could just shift the moon to the other side of the image and then it would appear to be taken just around sunset and that works. The other dead give away of the moon is the direction of the foreground shadows.

Thanks Peter, Something I will play around with in photoshop and put back up later one perhaps. thanks for the info.

sensational image and treatment!

Thanks Lachlan
