Late Afternoon Sun Over Lake Riem

Hi,
I'm not a big fan of post processing photos because it steels a lot of my spare time ;) . This time I used Silkypix (Free Edition) to manipulate two things: Whitepoint balance and I flipped the image horizontally.


I was very astonished that flipping the image makes a great diffenence in expression or atmosphere.


Cheers, Markus

Markus that is a really nice photo and regarding the flip I read somewhere that in the rule of thirds the upper right crosspoint seems to be most comfortable for people as they view a photo and the sun now seems to sit right there in the flipped version. What a difference!

I really does make a big difference. Maybe its something to do with the direction we read, left to right?? :?:
the rays from the sun would move left to right in the bottom image and this seems natural?
