Description
Above are two versions of the same photograph. This is what we see when the snow and ice start to melt on the beaches and lakes of Northern New York. I enhanced one with a bit more color and was wondering which one you thought looked best. I'm kind of partial to the natural one since that is home to me. :-)
Thank you so much for looking and I truly appreciate your comments and advice.
Oh!!! And a BIG Congratulations to my friend "Zacko" for being chosen gallery of the month! WOW... So sorry I haven't been around and I missed that Andreas. Way To GO Buddy!!! *Throws m&m's in the air~!!* Wooohooooo :-)
(((hugs)))

love the Dof to these landscapes maggie.. and the scenes are absolutely beautiful.. love the sky on the second image but the first has a good monotonic atmosphere... beautiful work maggie :)
love the top one the best. and it is a very good photo
I prefer the first one as well,and it fits your recent series better,too,with it's soft feel and quiet palette.How different our beaches are.I have been to my beach taking pictures as well.I love the atmo there this time of year,when all is hushed and people are few.Lovely work Maggie,and I'm sure our dear Gommie will be just as happy with those m&m's no matter when you give them to him,lol. -M ;^)
I like the sky in the first but the sand in the second. both are very excellent. I maybe would have cloned the sand in from the second to the original. lets go for a swim!!
Are you a member of the Polar Bear Club? LOL :P I with you.... I like them both equally! Eenie Meenie!
I like the gray sky of the first,,,actually I like the first one, period. Both look great and excellent work as always.
M&Ms!!!!!!!!!!!!! Running around catching them with my open mouth LOL. Awwww...thank you Maggie. #:O) I owe it all to the likes of you that have been encouraging and supporting me, helping me improve. Such a beautiful shot this is, i love the sense of depth in it. Its impossible to pick a favorite. They both look beautiful in their own way. The upper one has more mood to it, while the bottom is more cheerful with a promising spring to come. Yup...im with Kim on this one...Eenie Meenie Mooooooe. Oooh..and i love your signature btw. CLASSY!!! Back to work for me now. Have a wonderful sunday, and once again THANK YOU!!! #:O)
it is hard to choose for me too maggie.. really like the sky in the 2nd.. but the 1st is more realistic.. would not be a good time to go ice skating i imagine :]
1 for me !!!!!!! but both are amazing & soooo cold looking, we're all going crazy for spring!!!!! Excellent work Maggie!!!!!!
Just as Cyn says, it's the same for me! Love the mood here! opens mouth upward to catch the m&m's Yummy! Fantastic work, Maggie! :)
LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the second one! I just draws you in and lets you gets sucked up. The first one makes you wery and apprehencive. I suppose it depends on your mood. But I would print the second one and the editing is done so well!
wow, what a super super work!!!! excellently done!!! :)
That second one is so much clearer, a 'cleaner' image Mags sis... outstanding work on this. The DOF is perfect, superb lighting and what a shot!!!!! Gorgeous!!!!!
Both beautiful but I love the mood of the first one!
