On the Beach Revisited

I went back to the beach with Concetta. This time, the picture idea was all her's. Loosely based on the work of Jack Vettriano. After learning of his art, I've discovered that I really like it.

The first image was an experimentation with color, or the lack of color. I pulled out the female form, made the original image gray scale and overlaid the colored female form. They sky had a little help, as well.


The second image uses color to extremes. I darkened the sky and put highlights on the water. Of the two, I like the second one best.

I have to thank Concetta again for all her patience. She stood around for over an hour while I moved my camera around and clicked away at anything even remotely interesting.

Just one parting shot. While I didn't think this last one was a good candidate for the "These Shoes" contest, I did think it was a very nice picture. The only editing was some color correction and a crop.

By the way... If you think I am making the completely wrong choice with these pictures, pleas, please, speak up.
