He’s not green, but I’m sure he’s famished. The original was a little lopsided and dull. I cropped to straighten and use the negative space more wisely. I increased the contrast, clarity, and lightened the shadows. I sharpened the whole picture and decreased the noise. The original: ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~Continue reading “The very hungry. . .”

Horseshoe Bend – it wants you to know it is really not part of the Grand Canyon. It’s part of Glen Canyon. The original was dimmer and dull. I increased just about everything to bring out the contrast, clarity and colors. 🙂 I used an adjustment brush on the receding rocks to increase their clarity sinceContinue reading “Horseshoe Bend”
