Old man in Hydra 

Wooo Nice sweet Picture Bravo!!!

I can see Orton at work here but it is very nice :) The colors are great, especially in the lower part of the image :) Good job :)

"but it is very nice"...Does this "but" mean you don't like Orton? I am experimenting with it, I think sometimes it works well, but one has to be careful not to overdo it...

Oh sometimes when I read my comments again I can see how badly I sometimes choose my words :) This nice photo could have been better in my opinion but "But" was not meant to be that negative here :) Orton is a great effect for many photos. It boosts up colors and sometimes makes a dull scene look almost fairytale like :) You are right that we have to be careful not overdoing it, but sometimes overdoing it is what works for some photos :)

In this particular photo I like everything except the sky. The sky is a little bit too blue and the white line that separates the sky from the houses are spoiling it a little bit for me. Other than that it is a nice colorful photo :) I hope this did not sound to negative :)

You are right, the sky came out too saturaded, with the white area at the fringe as artifacts. I have fixed it...

Hello Daniel Schwabe, I'm one of the administrators of group The art from Photograph. It would be great if you would add this doc to our group. Thank you!

Thanks for posting this picture in Orton.
