Y’all. There’s nothing like seeing a whale breach. There are much better pictures out there of breaches, but this editing challenge is about taking what you’ve got and making it usable.

All I did with the original was increase the contrast and clarity andContinue reading “Rainbow Eucalyptus close up”
