Water - help!!
Hi I belong to a camera club but am a useless photographer so have to resort to all kinds of manipulation in order to persuade judges to award me a point in print competitions. I confess that Steve Caplin's book has won me all of the marks that I have been awarded to date! This shot however has got me stumped. I want to clone out the "half boat" at the bottom left, replacing it with water. I also want to add another inch or so of water at the bottom of the frame - if I don't the judge will inevitably moan about "the boat havng nowhere to go blah blah blah"! If I can do this sucessfully I might also try getting rid of the three canoes at the top and bringing the grass lower down. I have spent hours with clone, healing and patch tools but have noy been able to achieve anything that looks remotely realistic. The main problem is that the texture and colour of the water changes quite dramatically. Am I being too ambitious and attempting the impossible or is there a technique that I do not know about? If anyone wants the raw file I shall gladly provide it. Whilst I would appreciate help, absolutely no credit will be given for it at the next print competition - well this site has the word cheat in its name so what do you expect?! Regards Duncan |
