My main album post was sort of over the top in terms of saturation/color ( http://365project.org/taffy/365/2014-08-10), so I thought I'd go to the other extreme for this one, in my extras album. Taken tonight on Junko and my photo walk looking for opportunities to take the super moon, which sadly, stayed behind clouds. We spent a few hours in the harbor area finding other photo opportunities while we waited and hoped for clearing clouds (that never cleared).
@taffy I am fine - thank you for asking - have been away in Melbourne for a few days and my little notebook comp decided to have a meltdown - am back now and trying to catch up
Stunning image,Taffy! Wonderful high contrast! I am laughing to myself as I can now identify high contrast instead of just saying fabulous b& w image! I am learning! Fav!
Beautiful composition, Taffy. I love this hard contrast and the tonality of the water, fading from the deep grey at the bottom to washed out white at the top.
I was up early this morning and outside in my bathrobe taking a fog covered moon. Have downloaded yet. BUt you are right. I am a sunrise person. (4:30 a.m. that was.)
@elaine55 I'm going back into the original and see if I can re-process to include it. What's funny to me as I look back is it's like those seals in the shot I redid on the critique site -- this is an old decaying wooden owl that I was going to clone out totally. It never occurred to me it would look like a bird! But it does....so now I'll probably just crop out here since I can't replace the photo.
@elaine55 You can replace it? I thought you could only edit and replace it -- since the head is chopped off, I thought I'd have to go to the original and re-load...is there an easy way for you to explain how to replace? I know how to edit and replace, but I didn't think picmonkey had layers.
Such a shame the top of the bird's head is cut off, if you used layers I am sure you could add a little in to make it a full head.
