I'm bored and I just played around with a picture I liked. Not really sure what I was going for, but this is what I ended up with. I'm tired and I'll probably edit this more tomorrow but whatever.. I livened? up the picture a bit. I dunno.

before:

after:

after 2:

this is awesome!:]

Yeah, I can tell that you weren't sure what you were doing. It's just a darker version and some misty/fog/cloud brush on the left side or some sort of texture.

IMO, I like the picture that was captured then the edited version. The original captured picture seemed more lively then your edited version. =X

I have to agree with Sang. The edited image is bad quality (save it as .PNG instead!) and the picture was much more clearer and crisp with a raw shot than an edited image. The texture that you used on the sky or on the image just looks like something hit the camera (water or whatever) and it would look much better without it. I think you should have kept the image size as well. It's just a pain to look at a bad quality image. Everything was much more crisp in the original than the edited.

its a very nice picture.
and i like the last one with the water especially, but thats the only bit i seriously like..
obviously youre doing more work to them/it was just a bit of fun.
but it seems like a hard picture to do much to anyway.

I liked the "after 2" one. The blue looks nice there. Other than that, it's alright. I mean, for not being sure what you were going for...

i like all three, but i like the after2 most. nice job!

I kind of like it the way it was But I like the difference the water has in edit 2 than in the original. More blue.

i like both of the edits.
but personally, i don't really like the font. but that's just me.
am i the only one that likes the first edit more? ;x

omg! am ithe only one that noticed the random boat in the edited versions?!
lol, i like that part the best
i like the blue in edit 2
i think you should lighten that up a bit
and..
just get rid of the text

I don't think it was "livened" up but I like #2, it's more gloomy. The man is glowing a bit which I don't like. But, I like the addition of the boat and the more textured sky. Again, I think it adds to the "darker" feel of the 2nd.
