Roman from Thunder Bay, Canada
...gorgeous image Lorraine, bravo!
And I love the angle here, makes me smile, and... do I want one more cocktail or do I jump in the water sideways..????.....
I'm really curious at what stage did the angle idea for this image occured to you. Did you tilt the camere as you shot it or did you do it during post-processing?
cheers
Roman
22 Jun 2008 3:16pm
@Roman: lol Hi Roman, jump right in, mind the ducks and the boats though, it wass such a beautiful setting, but what got to me was the reflection, I performed contortion and full face pavement (so to speak) to capture the reflection, the rest was a bonus...did not have to process after ,I appreciate your generous comment ;)
