I hope this qualifies as a travel photo. I thought this was a cool view from up top on the ferry from Kingston to Edmonds, WA. Olympus E-M1 with 12 - 40 f2.8 lens. ISO 200, f6.3, 1/50s I pumped up the contrast and color to make it "pop" a little more. I did darken the water and red paint; it just came out very light.

Looks like travel to me! The pumping up of some color gives it that strong cyclers look.

Hi Hazel! Thanks for the comment. that was my aim but I stopped short of "grungy" :w3

Yep, looks like travel to me also...

It may be just a little too contrasty for me, as its gone to black around the vehicles wheels etc.. would try a luminosity mask to pull back the LHS first up, then work from there...

Interesting POV with a lot of interest going on below (bike lovers can never stop staring at one another's bikes, can they?).

I'd just burn the section to the left of the bikes a little with a GND filter in PP.

Thanks for the comment and suggestion Tobie. I used the CR filter with the gradient tool and that made a lot of difference. I should have thought of that but I didn't!

I see your point Don, but I like it like that, it seems to go with motorcycles. :w3 However, the dark side looks brighter now to me and I'm not sure why.

Much better - now the bright area on the left does not draw my eyes away from the activites below! :5

This worked out well, Judy.
I prefer the RP.
