    Hi all,

    took this the other day. The light was difficult, I was trying to capture the light on the water, but not sure if I've achieved that or if the shot just isn't good enough. Any ideas?

    Best I could come up with:

    Any advice much appreciated.

    Cheers

    It appears the sun was coming at you, therefore making the background a lot darker than you maybe wanted. Not sure on how to get around that but maybe a filter might sort that out. Here is my attempt to bring out the background a bit more using Lightroom to up the F stop & CS3 to add a bit of saturation.

    What do you think of this? Messed about with levels but put a mask over the water to keep the detail in the highlights. Also changed the green saturation a bit.

    @ Walsh Thanks much! :o

    @ Trojan, yeah the sun was coming from in front and to left, I was shading with a tree to avoid a bit of it. Unfortunately it was just me and the camera around my neck, so no chance to use a filter. Next time...!

    Thanks for the work on the shot both of ye, I'll take another look at it since it's not a complete wash-out.

    Cheers
