Artist's Comments

Inspired by one of *aspirine's pieces, I found a picture I had taken while hiking a year ago of a waterfall on the summer slopes of a local ski hill. (Marble Mountain, Newfoundland.) Please be gentle with your comments, the original image was taken with a 2.2 mp HP photosmart 620 which wasn't the greatest for detail shots.

When manipulating the image I did the red falls by making a color overlay of bright red with a hue blend mode. The rest of the scene was done the same way only with a white overlay color, and made slightly transparent so that the trees retained a hint of their original color. After all, we all need a hint of color in our lives, don't we? All but the water was given the Color Blur treatment courtesy of Nik Color Efex. Border done totally with the marquee tool, a calculator, and to opacity slider. Font is Tahoma. Saved for web as high quality jpeg with .2 blur and no matte. There, now you can make an identical image. :D

Mountain Falls is great! I especially like the border it really makes the photo wonderful. The reddish water is a cool effect... are you sure you didn't murder someone and then take the photo? haha :lol:

That's kinda what I was goin for. The low quality video camera used to videotape the flow of the waterfall mixing with the murder victims blood. Or that type of thing. Haha came out looking more like a certain stomach soothing acid reducing liquid I won't mention. But hey, people only got so much blood, I doubt the water would even be that pink if mixed with blood. Sounds like an experiment, maybe.

Scary thing, I've seen water nearly that hue in the park just near my place here in Toronto. Funny how pollution, and destruction, can sometimes be beautiful.
