Second Place - April 2011
*Digital Darkroom*
This photo is of tide pool sea urchins on Maui HI. All are under water except one. I upped the contrast and saturation to create an ocean fantasy. I applied a filter from Color Efex and Viveza from nik software.
EF 100mm macro lens f/2.8L f/16 1/60 sec ISO 1000
