Romance in Silhouette

Uploaded: April 04, 2008

Description

Resubmit of accidentally deleted previous EFP ; ( However, I did make some changes as well so it's kind of NEW AGAIN! ; )
I saturated the color some, increased the contrast a little, cropped it differently, sharpened it, added a light vignette, and added the birds using brushes (I slightly adjusted them...) from www.brushes.obsidiandawn.com thanks to Stephanie ; )

I must admit, I like this version MUCH better!! ; )

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/80 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 44.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 30D
