Sponge Diver Memorial

[Mark Fuge]

This image was taken in Tarpon Springs, Fl, the sponge diving capital of the world. I had previously posted this image in another vision. However, I tried something new for this one. Modification in CS4, Topaz, DAP and Fractalius, which included; Selective Color, Topaz Lens Effects, DAP Aquarell, Fractalius and other normal PS image processing.

I did a vertical crop as there were cluttering Christmas decor on the boats and it did not fit my vision. The memorial is also a vertical subject, so I felt it would better fit the image.

Enjoy!

Mark, I think the Aquarelle added a nice touch to this image.

Hi Mark, I remember this one. Very nice processing.

Mark, Nice work with the DAP filter. I like the extra long vertical comp.

I have taken pics of that memorial also, but your portrayal really captures it . Love the watercolor effect.

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate It.

It is one of my wife's favorite places. Good Greek food and shopping.

Sorry I am not here much right now. I am helping out as manager of the Canon Photographers Forum and it's subgroup Promotional Materials Forum, on LinkedIn. We have just made some major policy changes to the forums and I have spent a lot more time than I planned on making them work. Hope to get back soon. If you're in the area, stop in and join the discussions. Just leave your Nikons at the door!
