Snapped this one while holidaying last year with the family in one of the many beautiful beaches (Pulau Pangkor) of Malaysia.

Thanks and best regards!

William the file is not showing in my screen. Is there any place we can see the picture? Is it just me?

Hi Paul,

I could see both images on my PC screen now, that's really odd . I think my posting was done correctly the first time but you may be right that pbase does not allow hot linking photos.

Now you see it, now you don't

Thanks and best regards!
William.

Welcome back, William.

This is a nice peaceful shot. I would rotate it a bit to get the horizon straight, though.

I see the photos... but they disappear when I do a brower 'refresh'. And when I go to, for example to the members galleries, then come back here...well...they appear. Does the same happen with you ?

William Nice spot. It seems really peaceful. I agree it would look better of you rotate it a bit to straighten the horizon. I like the tree branch on the top. Others might disagree.

If you are an avid photoshopper you can also add a second layer and lend as Multiply, then mask out everything but the sky. Afterwards you can adjust opacity at taste.

Hi RVB Pix,

Thanks! It is definitely nice to be back again . Hit the browser 'refresh' and both images are still appearing on the screen. Really do not know what is going on .

Hi IcarusFree,
hope you can share with me what you actually have in mind by doing the selective masking and opacity adjustment in PS?

I will try to do the suggested adjustments to the image and post the final image later on tonight.

Thanks and best regards!
William.

William:
This was a quick and dirty test... I rotate the pic to align the horizon, cropped a bit, duplicated the background, blend on multiply (I like deep blue skys, a matter of personal taste) and masked with gradien over the horizon to show only the sky on the multiply layer. Painted over the mountains, boats and rocks.

Hope you don't mind. Let me know when you see this to delete the picture from my gallery.

UPDATE!!!

--> Image removed! <--

cmk... glad you see it. I will removed now.
