Seafront revisited

[GSXRMovistar]

Been playing around with Photoshop this evening working on an image I took back in January, back then I wasn’t impressed with what I got with the exception of this one.

So anyway this is what I’ve come up with:-

Any thoughts/comments? I’ll post the original in a bit to show how they compare.

Its a nice looking shot but seems abit blurry to me , or is it my glasses

Reminds me of Oblivion... Nice though.

To me its still blurry , you can still have HDR and not be blurry...

Case and point

Still a nice image though

Doesn't really do it for me, I'm afraid. The one you linked it nice, though.

Nope, not a single bit of HDR on that. Just some layering to soften it out.

It looks like you've made copy of the background layer, blurred it or something, then overlaid it, possibly setting the layer blending method to 'mulitply' or something - is that what you have done???

Pretty much, this was the original image

Straightened
Cropped
Remove seagulls, posts, and unwanted details
Duplicated layers
Add guassian blur to duplicate
Merge Layers Multiply
Adjust colour mixer
Adjust levels
Add in new sky layer (one with clouds)
Mixed and cut together, setting opacity fairly low
Flatten
Add border
Save

I quite like it, though I feel the boat should be a bit more out to the left.
