I actually took this picture a few weeks ago, but am learning to use layers in Photoshop. I have been taking pictures for a long time but this is my first time using this tool. The image is better and retained the color palette from my original changes. The sky is somewhat extreme, but it's a pleasant form of altered reality....This is a beach where Harry Callahan photographed often when he was not wandering the streets of Providence. This was an uber-cold face hurting day at the beach.
@kali66 Yes it was a biting wind..I actually like it for as long as I can stand it - one feels alive!.. @pdulis@ajisaac Thanks for your kind words. The original was a bit flat. At first, I processed in higher key but I am taking a photoshop learning course, and used layers on this image (first time using layers) since I thought it would work. The colors are preserved from the way I initially edited the image before importing to Photoshop, I tend to like a bit of green in seascapes.
