Windsurfing

[NickR]

I had a lovely Sunny days shooting yesterday at Grafham Water reservoir, it was good conditions for experienced windsurfers. They were a long way from where I was shooting from so a big crop was needed, I was pleasantly surprised with the IQ with such tight crops.

Rodrigo, I cannot see that myself on my LCD at Home and Work? Do you mean the water is too blue?

Cheers

what i mean about it being to blue is that the white color seems to be blue and not pure white... if you would like i could do an edit and show you

[NickR]

Rod, I still cannot see that but maybe my level adjustment messed up the white? you are welcome to adjust an image. I'll have a look at my pics when I get home from work.

Cheers

What i did here was, in levels, reduce the midtone blue a little... it brought out the green and made the colors a little more even

edited shot with fixed levels...

if you cant tell the difference look at the grass in the background and you can see it a little greener... its very subtle but its also only a small edit

Thanks Rod, good job your version looks better, it is I think back to what it was before I messed around with the levels straight out the camera.

Cheers
