Rejuvenating the Soul.06_06_05jpg

Well here is Wanda wandering. This spot is about five minute from our home. We hike here often. It is great place to get away from the rat race and refresh and rejuvenate your soul.

Oh, never mind; if I'd read all the comments I'd have seen that you already answered that question. :-)

Great shot, Bill. I see you used a pretty slow shutter, presumably to get the water flow. But the rest of the photo is in pretty sharp focus; are you that steady of hand, or did you have a tripod?

Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful photo and postprocessing. Very ethereal!

Exceptional shot. The lighting and slow shutter give it a surreal feel.

To give the image that soft glow in spots I made a duplicate layer and added some Gaussian blur at about 5 pixels. Then I erased through the layer where Wanda is standing and down in the fall. After that I lowered the opacity of the blur layer until I felt it looked right. I think it was about 30% opacity. Then I just flattened the layers.

Great Capture. And the angle and background is perfect.

almost like a dream-like image. :)

Great shot Bill. Would you care to share your post processing that gives the soft, glowing feel to the foliage?

Beautiful Shot.. All the moisture this spring has made everything green up early... Looks like the entrance to another world... With Wanda as our guide...Lead on !!!
