a bit oof

shame it is OOF

Lovely idea, but you really can't see that it is poking through the snow.

Lordy I feel for you...I live in Florida and we are experiencing the coldest weather in many decades....we actually may see snow in the morning...DO NOT DRIVE HERE IF IT HAPPENS..no one has a clue

Better have a look at the rules, this may be far to much Photoshop.

very cute but I agree with friiskiwi, read the guidelines on how far you can alter your original photo

I only used curves, gaussian blur and overlay mode on layer... thought it was within the rules... let me know if not, I will withdraw, no problem at all...

That's "fresh water?" Where's the surf from? (P.S. - anytime your talking about adding layers, you're probably talking about too much photoshop)

Kyricom... it's fresh SALT water!lol Fresh as in cold!lol Surf is coming from the wave... but, alright, I accept your critique on the layer bit!

Actually author, I was wrong, sorry. I thought gaussion blur and duplicated layers was not allowed but it is. But I think the point is that it was altered a little too much maybe. I don't know.

k5 - no stress! And, I totally accept the critique... I am still learning the secrets of the forum!
