I recenlty purchased myself an s6500fd but haven't had much chance to use it untill this weekend. So I took a stroll down to my local park/lake and just took some shots of various stuff that I though would make a good photo. having copied all the files to my PC and browsed through them, this one really caught my eye.

Only work done on it in photoshop elements was a crop.

The quality is probably not too good as I have only just started learning how to use the camera so the settings probably weren't ideal. Anyway here it is, hope you all like it.

I like it a lot- really beautiful.... maybe slightly noisy/ soft though?

Good picture. It would be loads better if there was somehting else to focus on, like a building or maybe the horizon.. All in all a good cloud picture.

I reckon a few mins in PS will bring out some colour. Maybe even alter the levels a little. Have a play around with the original photo you will be amazed what you can do with these things..

ok tried to use PS elements to improve it (I am a novice to photshop aswell)

tried to bring a bit more colour out and get rid of some of the noise to sharpen it up some what
