Then when Robert suggested it would look good as a painting, I couldn't resist the challenge. I hope you don't mind, and if you really hate it, I won't be offended. But I did have fun for a couple of hours doing this..  Edited with PhotoArtMaster. Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop. -Ansel Adams

Dec 15, 2006 10:43 | #6 thanks very much everyone for your kind comments. Nicely framed and with a very good subject and overall outcome,a very nice picture. It lacks contrast though,i gave it a wee touch,hope you don`t mind. Thats difinately better than mine Dimitri!..although I must say that some contrast seemed to get lost when I compressed it and the original is pretty much like yours! I loved this scene right away, and Dimitri did it further justice. Then when Robert suggested it would look good as a painting, I couldn't resist the challenge. That is really nice Elizabeth-Ann. Definately one of the better painting conversions I've seen. Im glad you had fun with it and thanks for posting your results. Its kind of strange but I posted another pic on here that people seemed to think would make a good painting...Think I should swap the camera for some oils and brushes, but on second thoughts, no way!!

It lacks contrast though,i gave it a wee touch,hope you don`t mind. Just curious how you made those greens and colors pop like that? I am trying to learn all i can with photshop and photography. Any good books or websites. I have been reading a TON. I have figured out levels. Simply moving the white and black slider around to match histogram. Curves i can't seem to get same result. More practice is needed.

Dec 15, 2006 12:52 | #13 im intrigued about that path? where does it go? a big country manner? its strange having steps on it preventing cars going down yet its so wide.. You cant really tell but its not actually a path stupot. There is a very large man - made dam just to the right of the house and thats the over - flow from it. Just curious how you made those greens and colors pop like that? I am trying to learn all i can with photshop and photography. Any good books or websites. I have been reading a TON.

I'm not that great at post processing pics myself, but I do know that a good way to get nice contrast in a pic is to use curves and create a very slight "s" shaped curve being careful not to overdo it. Not sure about books but as for websites, your in the right place for advice right on these forums! Canon EOS 40D

Yes, it lacks contrast, but that just adds to the impression I get when I look at it. The 'corrected' version just makes it look like a photograph, which obviously it is. Not to say the corrected version looks bad, in fact, it looks great, but I just like the effect of the low contrast - in this setting. Nice capture. It definitely deserves a good frame. ---------------
