Yes, this is a nice shot. From what you say, it is something I constantly find as a mess around with SPE and other similar products. Namely an average (even poor) shot can be transformed into a work of art. It sort-of worries me for some reason. Can't say why. Maybe there's a nagging feeling that I am cheating. Especially with SPE where you (at least I) use other people's effects. Mind you there is an artistic element of which effect to use how to combine and mix them.

Hi again,

Great transformation - always worth looking again at 'throw away' images. Nice one!

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi, love the end result you shown, especially when it was a throw away. Its dark and bright at the same time, almost surreal!

@Richard Briggs: You can always adjust/combine/mask any effects to your own needs and make them 'your own', sometimes its not to see which effects I used because of that Beside of that, thats the unlimited power of Smart Photo Editor!

Thank you for your comments......one item I forgot to mention and you can see it in the water.....I shot it in HDR I think that may be why I was having trouble with the photo in the first place.......I did try other products and all failed to to help......it took some time with SPE untilI thought it looked pretty good......The original
