Today is a very sad day. I'm going back to work. OH WOE IS ME!!! Well it seems that I forgot about the pictures from the lake so lets get back to them today. While you are looking at the pictures I'll be dreaming of sitting there taking in the view instead of working my butt off.
This is a before and after shot. First the original picture and then one that I played with in photoshop
Good morning! I know how it feels to go back to work after being off for a week or so...I love what you did to that picture, it looks cool. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love the effect, especially the clouds!
ReplyDeleteBack to work, already?????!!!!! Try to smile and keep thinking of the lake!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteBummer about going back to work! But the lake image is lovely. Hang in there. :)
ReplyDeleteWishing I could get away more than a few daze. I am headed over to N central NE tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteyou already know this but I will say it anyway... I like the edit best of all...
ReplyDeleteI'm on the fence with this set...I used to be all perturbed about not working, now I'm real happy about it...
ReplyDeletePretty cool retouch Ann! How'd you get black trees green? Hope your week goes well!
ReplyDeleteI can remember that wonderful feeling of knowing I have nine days off and I also know that let down of having to go back to work tomorrow. I'm glad I don't have to work anymore.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)
I like both! Sorry to hear you are back to work, but I hope it's a good day for you. :)
ReplyDeletekeep smiling!
No wonder you hate going back to work - you could be at that beautiful lake~!
ReplyDeleteI like the edit best. Does that lake clean enough to swim? With the heat wave that we been having, it seem like a nice place to jump right into cool off.
ReplyDeleteI hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday afternoon that the reason why the "For Dummies" books are called that is on account of the fact that only a dummy would buy one. For after trying to wade through all of the intricate details on everything but what I want to do for the last 3-4 months, I am still no closer to being able to create a simple geometric image than I was before I bought the book!
ReplyDeleteMany times I like photos straight from the camera the best---but you did a nice job with this one. I like your PhotoShop one better... Great clouds/sky...
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
I'm sorry about having to go back to work! Pbbbttttt...... I love how you opened up the shadows with Photoshop on that second photo. Do you have a version of Elements that includes camera raw and use that any? I use camera raw on everything I take, and it does a wonderful job. I take raw photos, but the editor works on jpegs too.
ReplyDeleteI WILL say that you made it look a lot prettier in the second picture. Bummer about gong back!
ReplyDeleteYou'll just have to try to make the idea of work as nice in your mind as the magic you work on pictures.
ReplyDeleteBoooo Work!!! Sigh...why could we not have been born rich instead of so talented and cute???
ReplyDeleteHopefully your work hours will go fast!

Love the edited photo the best...really makes me want to be there!
ReplyDeleteSorry you had to return to work...but at least you can escape a little with these photos!
Beautiful Edit Ann!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd SORRY! I WISH I could quit too!

ReplyDeleteHold on to that lake view...it will make your work more pleasant.
