I didn't see your original. So downloaded the enhanced image.
I only made simple changes

Dream Smoothing

Mirror arrayed but only on one edge - Can't have too much of a good scene.

On this one I used the Film Emulation 'Sunny' rich

nice contributions, SallyAnne, thanks!
probably if you start from the original (the first image posted) you may reach even better results, because my so called "enhanced" version lost informations

Snapped this from a room at Myrtle Beach.

One of our wild Oregon beaches. The original

G'MIC Graphic Boost

G'MIC Cartesian Transform - this truly expresses the wildness of our beaches. They are cold and dangerous.

@Oregonian
let me think at your coast in a more sunny and warm atmosphere...
(BTW you posted an excellent photo)

edit: your interpretation of its cold and dangerous aspect is really interesting...

very nice outcomes, SallyAnne!

I have a little curiosity:
why there are so many people that -in front of an image with a non-horizontal horizon (it seems a joke, isn't it?), do not modify it, but keep it as it is, when enhancing it?
I know there are situations in which it could be part of the "interpretation" of the subject, but -at least to my eyes- it does not seem this the case of Gnutux' seascape.
I noticed already this "tendency" in other pictures and other authors here in Gimp-chat.
Have I lost some important characteristics of a good photographic eye?

Can't say I noticed it/didn't take any notice of the horizon in that case. Was more worried about bring out detail if not noticing all of the detail. BTW thanks dinasset.

you did a good job, SallyAnne, your outcome was very good; I was just curious (one of my two prevailing characteristics: I'm lazy and I'm curious...not to say the rest!)

Beautiful sea view, Dinasset. I like your outcomes, here my version from the original one.

That is very impressive Issabella.

Thank you SysTemX, you're always so kind.
Here other photo to play on.

dinasset · **Posted:** Wed Aug 20, 2014 1:38 pm **(#17)**

very good outcomes, Issabella!
for the connection problems, for the moment I don't read-modify-repost your nice photo (hopefully the day after tomorrow -back home- I'll be able to do it)
ps: about the photo posted by me: same curiosity as for SallyAnne: and the horizon???

Issabella · **Posted:** Wed Aug 20, 2014 3:43 pm **(#18)**

Oregonian, I love your photo. I hope you find my version nice.
I corrected the horizon of Dinasset's photo, too.
Sallyanne, beautiful outcomes.
