The Beach was Cold and Windy by taffy

The Beach was Cold and Windy

Today was cold, wet, and windy -- the total opposite of the past week. Junko, Ginny, and I took Danny (current dog sitting focus) for a long walk. Processed using Aperture at first, then Color Efex, then Topaz, then Color Efex again, etc, while watching a movie. It didn't look like this, but this is exactly what it felt like to me.
Tried to create a title for six word story as I haven't done one in a long time.
It looks like snow!

At first I thought it was snow. It certainly looks cold and windy, the kind of day I want to be either inside by a fire or wrapped up really warm. Gosh Taffy your processing sounds a lot of work.
August 13th, 2014  
Brrrr! Makes me shiver to look at. I love how you processed the photo right into the middle of winter! Excellent!
August 13th, 2014  
Stunning picture.

EEK! You put my right into winter! You did a great job as you made me shiver, lol.

August 13th, 2014  
You really worked this image over! I about got lost following all the places you took it on your computer. The outcome tho definitely depicts a cold and unfriendly environment. You definitely know the tricks in editing programs. I love winter but I don't think I'm ready for it just yet.
August 13th, 2014

Love the barren look to this and the processing certainly suggests an almost wintery feel to the scene. Very atmospheric.
August 13th, 2014  
Stunning shot!
Hi...I am your get pushed partner this week....I think you are far to advanced for me to think up a challenge that would challenge your abilities....so my challenge for you is to capture anything using your favorite technique that a novice like me would try to duplicate/learn.
August 13th, 2014  
Like the processing, makes it look very cold
August 13th, 2014  
I had to double check where you are based as it looks like a snow shot. I enjoy the feeling of wilderness that you have crated.
August 13th, 2014  
Great processing, looks like snow.
August 13th, 2014  
Cool. That does seem to be a lot of apps to have to go to though?
August 13th, 2014  
Brilliant end result after all that processing.
August 13th, 2014  
What fascinating processing - came up with a really neat image.
August 14th, 2014
