My first challenge with my new Rebel XT! WOO-HOO!!!
This is an attempt to juxtapose the beauty of the creek environs with an ominous dark "presence" or mood. Not sure how well I accomplished this - or how it will be received. I was thinking of a suspense/drama/horror flick...
PP included:
lighting/exposure, color sat, burn/dodge brush, Mr. Contrast filter, Neat Image, transparency brush, save for Web.
[Purgatory Creek happens to be within a mile or two, but this is actually North Creek. I took shots of both and the terrain is similar, but the images of North Creek seemed to fit the challenge slightly better than the ones of Purgatory, so I borrowed the "P" name.] |

| Wow. I can't believe we almost had the same title. I went for a 'heavenly' name, you went the other direction. :) I think you were ripped off in your score, its a great pic. I love the fluidity of the water. Gotta try shutters that long. Great job!! |

| This is a pretty, balanced image, which means there's no tension to make me want to see the movie. Your title is better. At least the creek has an ominous name. |

| Sorry not for me, white water looks like cotton wool although i do love the effect I don't think it works in this composition. |

| Loveley long exposure. Looks as though you shot this on a cloudy day - a bit more light would have upped the contrast a bit. |

| The title is decent and the concept of the photo is good. I like that it is moody and matches the title. I think you have too much contrast and it has really hurt the image. I like the long shutter speed on the water giving it a foggy feel. |
