Cosmeston Lake.

Taken today on a very wet and windy day. The boardwalk had partially been submerged by the amount of water as the 'lake' was bursting at the seams. This is a long exposure ICM followed up by several layers of textures I have added then. I made a mistake as I saved the PSD file to preserve the layers and then saved it as a JPEG. As I was exiting PS it asked me if I wanted to save the file first so stupidly I said yes and this saved the flattened JPEG as the PSD file so when I open the PSD I now have no layers, gutted as now if I want to tweak it, I have to try and recreate it all over again. Tried right clicking on the PSD file to search for a previous version but alas, there isn't one.

Methinks that's another one for a gallery wall, Gareth !

Saving to the wrong file format and no way of going back?? I suspect we've all done that - I certainly have . But starting from scratch if you want to tweak it might actually be to your advantage as it will be more of a creative process again rather than mere tweaking and who knows where that might lead.

I don't think it needs a lot of tweaking.
Some times you can over think it and go too far, maybe it's fate.
Did I say I love it

This guy is on a roll !
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thanks all, seems even though I don't know much of Turners work, I seem to be somehow copying his work!

I'm looking forward to rephotographing locations I've already done so with this new technique.
