On my monitor, it looks too blue. It's a great pic but the color looks off to me. Maybe it's just my monitor. Bob

It has a very, very blue tint to it. However, I wonder if this is what Jen was after? To me, the blue makes it look cool or cold, which it would be with all the ice.

A Blue & Gold filter?
I recently bought a blue & gold, it really can make a difference on water but I haven't tried it on ice.

I'll keep everyone guessing as to how I did this for another day or so and then I'll post my secret. If you surf lighthousing.net and see my answer over there, don't post it until I get a chance!

On my digital, I have gotten a very blue picture by leaving the white balance set for tungsten lights. Didn't do it on purpose, but the pictures were very blue!

I think it would look better without all that blue snow and ice. It's March 10th and I'm ready for spring!!! (Just kidding Jen! ) Some colors are cold and some are warm. Regardless of the snow and ice it would still look cool as blue's a cold color. I normally prefer warm colors.

I LOVE it. I like the blue...very chilling. Something makes the photo creepy...and that's what makes it spectacular.

Bob and Dave were onto me. Here is the original: I cropped it to pano, and hued it to blue in Photoshop. Thanks for the great feedback!

Here's a question for you, Jen. Referring to the original photo, not the one with the added blue, what effect would a powerful "fill-in" flash have on the same shot? Bob

Here's the image going the 'other way'. Perhaps "Hell Freezes Over" or "Global Warming". Yet we still 'see' this as a snowy image and I think our minds want to 'compensate' by thinking it must be a sunset or sunrise. Please forgive me, Jen, for modifying your image...

Actually, I like the blue variation because of its uniqueness.

Jenifer, I like the original. IMHO, the others look too... artificial. They look good, but not as good as the original. At least to my eyes anyway.
Nice work!

I also like the blue --- it makes me feel c-c-c-c-old!
Marblehead, Mass. Lighthouse, you will always have a very special place in our hearts. ....We've made the journey as far south as New Jersey, as far north as Canada. Over 100 lighthouses visited.... and so many more to go.

Interesting! I wonder how the blue one would look if the beacon was enhanced with just a little more light (just a "tad" more)?

Isn't it wonderful how one image can evoke different feelings just by a bit of adjustment in color and cropping. They are each unique and I like them all.

Stick to the original it is GREAT!
While the blue effect catches a person's attention, the original catches the Heart!

My opinions on the three: Blue mod: Coooold. The change makes the photo very eerie. Like the ghost of a keeper long past is going to jump out at you any second. Original: Like Paul said, it captures the heart. It has warm tones up top, morphing to cool ones on the bottom. Very unique! John's Orange Mod: Martian looking, but cool (in the neat sense of the word). It definitely looks like a sunset. Very interesting! It is amazing the changes that can be made with the features available in imaging software. You can do so many things to a photo. But of course, only the original can truly evoke the feeling of being there.
