A bit of white-balance fun with a CTO gel :o)

Fed up of trying to get this right in the wind and the rain, I packed up and went to watch the sheeplechase...

Hmmmm.....at the risk of being branded a heretic and summarily burnt at the photographic stake, I'm going to stick my neck out and say I'm not too sure of this...I have an aversion to the purpley-blue hues going on here, they don't seem to compliment the lush greens of the sunlit bank at all - those warm greens are at odds with the coldness of the bluey water. Maybe it's just me of course :o))

marvelous balance between the sunshiney areas and the moody blue of the river..stellar composition and masterful control of light...V

Sort of seems like a scene from Lord of the Rings. It has a magical quality somehow.

Looks good, like you are white water rafting. Well more like blue water rafting.

Wonderfully eerie. This looks like it could be a cover for a mystery novel. V
