Title: Monet inspired reflections
Post by: SmokeytheDog on October 10, 2010, 04:17:46 AM
I took this at the Crooked lake picknic area in the Waterloo recreation area.
I maxed the contrast and color saturation in iphoto to get the effect I wanted.

This shot shows the general scene of the above photo. I walked farther to the right along the shore into the shade of some trees to get the color of the reflection to be bright enough.

Really great.   This is pretty much what Monet did, and your results are about the same.   Remarkable shot.

Remarkable indeed.  This tells us that there are hidden scenes within every visible scene - there is more than meets the eye.

This is what digital imaging is all about. Use the technology to express your art in photography.
In this impressive image, you definitely made an artistic statement. Great job Smokey.
