Lightbulb Advice please :]
Always willing to hear and learn new things.
I love photography and although I'm not the proud honour of a large, expensive DSLR, I think the nature of photography isn't the quality of the photo, but the content and meaning.
So; erm, please let me know what you think!

This image is a prime case for the use of a Graduated Neutral Density Filter. It pays to get it right at time of making the image, But what I did was:

a) I straightened and cropped image

b) I applied my Graduated ND Effect:

ctrl+J

Add adjustment layer>levels

Drag right and middle sliders to left-until foreground looks right

Press"D" or "X" to give black foreground

Click "G" for gradient-select linear black to transparent

Hold and Drag cursor from top of image to horizon

Flatten and save

Regards, Ken

What did you hope to convey about the "content and meaning" of this photo when you took it? You have some other really neat concepts in your photostream but this picture just makes me say "..........."
