CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW
On a quiet afternoon at Huntington Beach I noticed this lone communicator under the pier. I was struck with the subtle color variations in the cement probably caused by the constant exposure to salt sea air. To accent, I applied highlight and shadow manipulation, multiply blending and localized desaturation.

Exposure time: 1/100 F-stop: 8.0
ISO speed: 200

Thanks for the nice comment Anna. It's cold here today and your image of a rainy day makes me feel as if I were to step outside I'd get wet even though the sun is shining. Very dramatic image. Well done. Dale

You're so kind Laura. Believe it or else I took this shot while waiting for my wife to come out of the little girls room. I love geometric shots and after I cropped this I got the idea for the title. One of my favorites from a lucky shot.
