Good day everyone.
Yesterday presented a nice sunrise and one or two of my photos might be worth processing.
Another photo initially looked terrible: very blurred due tn unsteady hand, and the horizon was far from level. I was about to delete it realized that it had a nice abstract quality so I did a little processing (mostly brightness and contrast and a little tweaking to color saturation).
Not bad but certainly not among my best.
Then I thought to increase the canvas size on the right and at the bottom, copy the initial image, rotate them as needed and paste each rotated version into the three new unused corners. I again adjusted brightness and contrast and boosted color saturation here and there. I blurred the bottom half and darkened it a bit to suggest reflections in calm water. Finally, I sharpened in places of the top half. All this resulted in a nice image that suggested in an abstract way a hill and a nice sky reflected in the water.
But it was too static - a perfectly symmetrical composition, so I cropped it for a better composition...
I'm pleased with the result. Something a little different that was fun to create.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
