Nothing like fresh water on a hot January day in Rio de Janeiro!

Altered curves, gaussian blur filter and overlay layer. (3 years and 133 days ago)

Summery, January

Better have a look at the rules, this may be far to much Photoshop. Reply »

I only used curves, gaussian blur and overlay mode on layer... thought it was within the rules... let me know if not, I will withdraw, no problem at all... Reply »

That's "fresh water?" Where's the surf from? (P.S. - anytime your talking about adding layers, you're probably talking about too much photoshop) Reply »

k5683 says:

Actually author, I was wrong, sorry. I thought gaussion blur and duplicated layers was not allowed but it is. But I think the point is that it was altered a little too much maybe. I don't know. Reply »
