Froggy Rock by aikiuser

Froggy Rock

Well, that's probably not really what this rock at Point Lobos near Monterey is actually called, but it kinda looks like it to me. Shot during a most excellent recent coastal excursion with some Aikifam.

Peace
beautifully composed jenn....and love the almost IR edit on this one. A most excellent trip indeed!

Love this in b&w, I think this could turn into a sensory overload in color :-) Cool stuff!

I see a turtle ;). Beautiful atmosphere in this shot.

Eye-catching composition. The tree is very striking...with the frog-like rock. Excellent work and a FAV.

A techie kind of question... What I can't figure out, and because I see it often in HDR, is how you control the halo effect, in this case about the tree. It is a beautiful scene, and is the halo a result of the processing and can it be avoided? Ribbit

Stunning stunning! I love the black and white processing!

It DOES look like an aikifrog -- I didn't see it at the time. Very effective in black and white, and I love all the textures and the composition. BTW, what is IR, which Heather mentioned? @pixelchix

P.S. I also really like how the line in the rock repeats the shore line on the left with the same angle -- nice.
September 28th, 2011  
WOW...WOW...love the black and white, it is a piece of art...peace to you my friend
September 28th, 2011

@aikimomm Infra-Red, or Irritable Rastafarian, you decide. ;)
September 28th, 2011  
Oh yes! Peace indeed.
September 28th, 2011  
it sure does look like a frog!! love your processing!

@hown The halo effect in most HDRs can be reduced to a bare minimum or none. Sometimes, however, it is at the expense of other adjustments within the software. Of course there are tricks such as layer masks in Photoshop which can bring back the detail in the halo as well. In this case, however, the "halo" was a result of odd lighting and strange foggy mists in the location, not processing. It could be minimized or edited out, by I rather like the effect Nature and camera created here.

Wonderful capture and love the editing. Wow you finished 1 year, I must have missed that, I'll have to go back. Congratulations.
