Life on the Rock (seascape)

[Julie Brown]

Well, it looks as if I just missed last week's theme, but I thought I would go ahead and post this image from my Big Sur workshop 3 weeks ago. After basic exposure tweaks in Lightroom, I took it into Nik's Viveza to warm up the rock, and then ColorEfex Pro to apply the color stylizer and the cross processing filters. The water really was almost that aqua green color, but maybe this is too "stylized".

Canon 5D MKII, 70-200mm f4L @ 200mm, ISO 50, 0.6sec @ f16, 0EV, manual exposure, tripod, cable release

I am really impressed (as always) with the creativity displayed in the images posted for the weekly themes. Congrats to last week's winners Niki, Barbara, and Indranil! :)

Julie, I like it. The juiced up colors are lovely and the water flow is nice. I think the white area on the top right could be a touch whiter IMO. Nicely done.

Thank you for the comment, Denise. That area is white in the original image. How about this one?

I think it looks better.:)

Thank you, Denise.

Hi Julie,
Re-post works for me too! I like the graphic look this has.

Hi Julie. Repost is quite nice! I like the colors and the contrast between the motion of the water and the immobility of the rock. Looks like the water is coming from every direction!

Hi Julie
I rather like the surreal pink wave look so decided to see if I could enhance it !!!
Hope you don't mind.
Again used Topaz Detail on Dynamic Range and Noise Ninja.
Bit different !!!
