While waiting for the dentist...

I took this photo this previous winter before going into the dentists office. The canal and boardwalk were right across the street from the office.

Major curves were added to this photo as well as exposure blends. This is just a fun shot to practice with photoshop as I realize it is not realistic!

    Now now let's play nice. :nono

    It's a touchy subject here but watermarking is at the discretion of the photographer.

    Didn't mean to offend. Just a hint. A smaller, less prominently placed watermark would give you a better view of the gorgeous photo :)

    It's up to the photographer to make those decisions. And there are plenty of reasons why someone might choose one style over another.

    Thanks for the comments everyone! As for the watermark, I can definitely understand why some people don't like it. For me, it is a matter of branding is all. That is why there is chocolate or vanilla!:D

    The light rays are there only to complement the watermark. I got a little ridiculuous with it.eek7.gif

    Had some more fun and put another version of this up. I, personally like this print-out better as it has some ominous overtones to it...
