Beach in Winter

I am returning to that which I love. Landscape photography. I will be playing with indoor photography but.... well this is what I love. The pier at Old Orchard beach with an slight Orton effect.

[Susan]

Love this, it jumped right out at me.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Wish I was there right now with all the snow falling! But they say it is going to warm up here next week. FAV!

[Joan Robillard]

@skipt07 Wind chills made me rush to take photos so thinking you might prefer a Southern Climate,

[Tunia McClure]

The sharp colors are just right.

[Diane]

Love it!

[bkb in the city]

Beautiful shot

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Oh yes, I see that you are further north than I am. I never would have thought this was in Maine at this time of the year with no white stuff covering everything!

[Mike Gifford]

Lovely shot and Fav!

[Junko Y]

Whoa -- I need my sunglasses to look at this photo, it's so sunny!

[Islandgirl]

Wow love the processing, what a lovely pier!

[Dawn]

A lovely shot and contrast of colours fav

[Milanie]

Beautiful - love the processing - best time of year at the ocean! Fav

[Ron]

Oh, wow! I'm surprised this was such a short exposure what with the rich color and all. Great shot Joan.

[Karen H]

Nice effect

[Dyan Stevens]

Spectacular image. Love how the blues pop out in the architecture.

[Mary Jo Gran]

This is so beautiful. Fav

[Joan Robillard]

@stray_shooter You gotta love Lightroom processing plus tweaks in PS

[Joyce]

beautifully captured Joan.

[Margo Sayer]

VML the strong colours here, courtesy of Lightroom or otherwise. All such is beyond my ken at the moment. Wonderful how the light is so beneficial to strong colours

[Denise Wood]

Wonderful :)

[Clare Gadsby]

oh now i'm very partial to a little sprinkle of orton here and there. works so well for this image. wonderful colours

[Joan Robillard]

@pistache I have an action that creates the look in a group and I reduced the opacity of that group. I am a big user of both LR and PS.

[Francoise]

gotta look up Orton because this is a fabulous effect (and underlying picture of course). I thought warm at first also, trying now to re-orient to a cold beach.

[Joan Robillard]

@francoise You will need a program like PS I think. I have an action to create it.

[Taffy]

Wonderful rich colors and beautifully balanced scene. I can see why you love this -- you are really talented at capturing an interesting scene.

[Taffy]

@francoise picmonkey has an Orton effect as one of its processing options. I don't know how well you can control it, but I have seen it on the list.

[Merrelyn]

A lovely image, Joan, love the colours and processing :)

[Paul]

A lovely capture 👍

[Claude Trew]

Lovely colours.

[Catherine P]

Beautiful scene and such lovely bold colours

[Ann H. LeFevre]

And you have so many beautiful landscapes to choose from there. fav

[Danette Thompson]

It's beautiful!

[Juan B.]

Wow. I would take a bath perhaps it is winter. Great landscape

[Joan Robillard]

@jborrases you could do what we call a polar bear plunge!

I love Old Orchard Beach, I lived in Portland ME for about a year and spent quite a few days there.
