Whispers of water
I enjoy visiting the nearby Hakone Estate and Gardens, a Japanese retreat tucked away in Saratoga, at the heart of California's Silicon Valley where we live. The garden has a small cascading waterfall.
I processed a photographic and a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, added vignetting, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
