Infinite Blue
Uploaded: June 17, 2008
My friend Tracey standing on the ledge of an infinity pool in Cancun last summer. I submitted a different version of another shot taken within seconds last year, but I've learned a few things since then. The main thing lacking in my original was that we had a bland sky - very blah...so, this newer version is a composite of the original scene and a more beautiful skyline (the earlier version is still in my gallery).
Went back to my original file and started from scratch. Adj levels, altered the horizon line, +contrast, placed the new sky, blended the layers, +saturation through levels, softened her skin and VOILA! This is actually how I remember it being so beautifully blue!

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
