Standing Guard 2


	Standing Guard 2 Atlantis Resort, Nassau, Bahamas Thank you, Datha, for your ideas!! This is a pair of sculptured swordfish high atop the main entrance to this grand resort. I used the Topaz Adjust filter and other edits to acheive the look I wanted. Not a category I usually enter, but thought I would give it a try. 9/25 - Digital Darkroom Vicki L. Filippin

Pretty cool Vicki. I love the curves of the statue along with the curves of the clouds... all so harmonious. Rhonda

Thanks, Mike! DD is SOOO not my forte'; it's that addicting Topaz filter! I ran through a few of the preloaded adjustment on it and when this popped up I was like...hmmm...this could be interesting. I'll leave the DD work for other like you, Datha, Elida, Jean on a regular basis, though....lol
