This day was a snowboarders day in Heaven! A storm had just past that left behind three feet of snow! All of my pictures this week are of white snow, so for this entry I drastically adjusted the hue/saturation levels with Elements to come up with color. This mountain is at the summit of Donner Pass, it is named Castle Peak.

wonderfull landscape, however the pink is a bit too intense for me. Jacko. 6

Wicked color combination, fun! On the down side - the clouds seem grainy or pixelated (esp. in the whiter areas), some of the tree's color was adversely affected and the shadows on the snow were all changed by your pink manip. I think I can honestly say I would have scored this at least a point higher, maybe two without the pink. 5 Rob the Swash

The colors hurt my eyes and the sky looks grainy.

Not a good effect, sorry to say. Too pixelated and fakey looking.

Grainy, and too saturated.

Ahh man the noise in the sky brought this image down, nice concept though.

From the looks of ths clouds and the sky, I think this could have had potential had the colors not been adjusted, The pink shows a lot of noise. I just think this is too saturated and unnatural for my liking.

nice job, but how did you get it that color
04/08/2003 02:03:52 PM
to much pink in the picture a little less will make the picture mor intresting
04/08/2003 01:53:09 PM
Yikes! Way over PS'd - what were you trying to do here? Unnatural, hard to look at - nothing wrong with going against the grain, but owie.

I like everything but the weird green trees. I think it would have looked better if all the trees were done like that or if they were all the duller color. Still, this is a great shot.
04/07/2003 06:30:44 PM
Oh yuck. Extreme adjustments like this rarely work well.
04/07/2003 04:18:11 PM
This looks like a photo negative.
04/07/2003 10:13:33 AM
good job

Not keen on this effect.
