About Heavily "blurred" in PS Elements to get rid of grain that was very evident in original. It's overdone for sure but does take on a painted effect. Original below.

This is awesome Steven! The blurring you did gives this a serene, peaceful feel. A wall hanger IMO.

nice shot, it`s very "dramatic" nature picture.


Titia Geertman   {K:5579} 5/10/2003
I stand in awe for orange glow
when swans are floating by
I knew that nature was creative
And you just showed us why

Really beautiful.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Lovely poetry Titia. Nice to hear from you Bev.


Audrey Reid   {K:5872} 6/5/2003
Hi Steven, gaps between my visits nowadays!!
I am meant to use lots of words...but 'I love it' is all that comes to mind.
This image IS like a painting, a quiet, tranquil one at that.
The original with grains looks fine too, but maybe the grains are too much in full size?


junichi miura   {K:1051} 7/26/2003
Excellent work. great color and so beautiful image.


Vincent K. Tylor   {K:8890} 8/5/2003
Well composed, great colors, and the fog or mist is the icing on the cake! The photoshop helps. Did you simply try to despeckle, rather than blur?? Just curious. Beautiful beautiful beautiful........


David Yates   {K:4698} 11/20/2003
Very nice. Blur worked finr, but I've been using NeatImage to get rid of grain/noise with great effect and lots of control.
Congrats on your editor's choice, which is also graet.
Regards,David

nice shot...so warm mood


Daniel Taylor   {K:3495} 11/20/2003
Excellent composition and color. Curious...why did Provia have so much grain? Or is this a crop of a small portion of the frame?


NN     {K:26787} 11/20/2003
Very nice mood - beautiful shot!


Andy Barker   {K:230} 11/21/2003

They remind me of musical notes, hovering it seems.


Steven Lilly   {K:302} 11/21/2003
Amazing work, great color. Very evocative. I love the textures: the ripples in the front, the mist in the back, the steely calm in the center. Futuristic almost, but with a great warmth. Congratulations. NOT overdone.


Roger Cotgreave   {K:15892} 11/21/2003
the effect works well Peter...looks good..roger


Moji Tehrani   {K:2678} 11/22/2003

Domenico Pescosolido   {K:10022} 11/22/2003
So beautiful!!


Steven B. Poitinger   {K:1757} 11/22/2003
Thanks for the recent comments everyone. To Daniel Taylor: this was a fairly extreme crop which I believe is related to the heavy grain. I have also found that many of my images that contain fog seem rather soft.


Thom Stevenson   {K:132} 11/22/2003
I'm partial to warm light and wispy fog over water, much less waterfowl ... this is a beautiful rendition, nicely done!


Jenni Alasuutari   {K:2102} 11/22/2003
So beautiful and tranquil! Well done, Steven!


Amancio Couto   {K:15720} 11/22/2003
SUPERB!...Excellent shot! Great moment!!! The color,s and the water as the a natural backround and silhoeuett,s still wonderful!!! Congrats Steven!


Amancio Couto   {K:15720} 11/22/2003
...ok Steven; after seeing the original, i can tell...your work still excellent! You,r do and i know, the shot,s under severe conditions as that, is no too easy. Congrats!...


A Bayg   {K:160} 11/23/2003
It is an excellent work.Especially the shadows of the swans an d the colors impressed me much.

Beth Lasoff   {K:539} 11/23/2003
