Interesting effect. I think the top the 2/3's looks pretty good...but it didn't work as well on the bottom part (the trees).
It is relaxing and fun to play with filters, etc in PS, isn't it? ;- )

Georgous sky, nice color and composition.
I bet it's awfully hot in those tin shacks.

Pretty neat image! You sure seem to have fun with your CD's!
I do think it would be even better if you removed the dust/sctrach marks.

Really REALLY nice, Judy. I love the look of the windmill in motion and the lights in the trees. You also did a terrific job of keeping detail in the shadow areas.

John, I'm sure you are right...there are other ways to make bubbles...but, my time is limited, I use Elements, not full PS and the filter is free, easy to use and it took only a couple of minutes to add the bubbles, move them about, size them, etc. And, frankly, it was fun!!!!

I love the reflection. Fractured reflections are always appealing to me!
I would suggest that if your have the software to it you might want to straighten the edge of the building (left side of image).

Hi Kevin. I would highly reccomend Adobe Photoshop Elements 3. It's under $100 and very powerful.

Kevin, this is a very nice portrait of a cat. The problems here are easily fixable. It looks soft (not sharp) and lacking in contrast. The contrast was fixed using levels in PSElements and the image sharpened with unsharp mask. I also cropped it just a little.
I noticed that it was not properly sized, which may account for the soft, flat look. Your origingal is 200dpi and just 2 or so inches long. Try sizing at 72 dpi and 700-800 pixels wide. That should give better results for web viewing.

The problem with the bubbles is (now I'm critiqueing my own work) the reflections don't reflect the way bubbles really would...the bubbles in back of her still reflect the front...have to figure out a way to get around that problem!

It would be better if cropped to remove everything above the side of the building. The top is much to white and completely throws the image off balance.

A lovely, peaceful scene.
Question: Why the polorizer? What did it do for the scene? I have alwys been told a polarizer is not useful when the sun is that low in the sky, so I've never tried it and would like to know what the advantage is.
