Roadside creek... new PS Elements user

[slacker]

On the drive home this weekend I pulled over to grab something from the back of the wagon. While stopped I decided to snap a pic of this creek and today experimented with post-processing with Elements.

Any input very much appreciated!

Here's a cropped, unprocessed pic..

#3 for me as well. I like the way you brought out the colours. Nice warm feeling. I like the water movement. How long was your shutter speed? Maybe a little longer would have given it an even smoother feel. Nice post processing work you slacker.

Here's the image info:

Shooting Mode
Shutter-Priority AE
Tv( Shutter Speed )
1/13
Av( Aperture Value )
11
Metering Mode
Evaluative Metering
Exposure Compensation
0
ISO Speed
100

I'm still familiarizing myself with the camera and the controls. It was raining at the time and I wasn't able to stay out there too long to keep trying different settings.

I just finished speaking with my co-worker from whom I bought the dRebel from. He gave me a quick run-down on how get even longer shutter settings. Thanks for the comments!

I agree with everyone else #3 works best for me too....Although the second one is really good too.
