Layers & Reflection's

[woolly1949]

It's early Sunday morning,i'm bored and its raining so sort and delete some recent pics.
Messing about with Elements pointed me to Layers with this result,not much but I like it.
Severe RA limits me to a few Hobbies, photography is now one of the few that I can enjoy.
My Camera is a Sony A200 with kit lens that restricts the user somewhat but in a couple of weeks that should change.
f5.6....1/160....ISO 250 for the original pic.
Any constructive comments or critisisms much appreciated.

My partner sufferes really badly with RA, & Fibro and associated problems so I feel for you. How old are you?

I tried a bit of selective colouring myself the other day, enjoyed it.

Did you use a desaturated masking layer?

Have a play with the curves and bump up the contrast a bit, and maybe a crop to the rule of thirds.

Nice try though.

DS using Elements I created a duplicate background layer then converted it to Mono and then erased the drops of water to let the original colour show through.
A very simple task but can give some great effects.
Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis coupled with the Erosive type as well has already given me a replacement hip with a possible Knee replaced at the end of the year.
A mild heart attack a few years ago and an Artery bypassed in my left leg.
So do'nt make me excited,PLEASE!
As for age well the Monaco GP is on my 60th,come on Jens!
