a Friday photo finish at Spoon Bay

Quite a nice finish to the week, sunset colour and all. Thought I was out of harms way setting up on the rocks which is about 10 feet high but as happens a larger than normal wave smashed so hard that it got me a beauty and soaked the camera. How he still works I don't know but I'm glad he does. Not really looking to buy another in a hurry.

 

Used all my Photoshop knowledge to do this. A lot of the effort is purely to get rid of the colour cast from the cheap graduated filter used but then I keep going, doing more and more, massaging, flossing. Looks a bit surreal but this is the type of image I've found to be interesting when looking through others works. The sky is exaggerated a fair bit. Done from one raw file. Bit of brush work in ACR and alot of colour balancing in CS4 which is getting easier as my understanding of selections grows.
