Deep Blue Sea

[Mark Fuge]

This image was taken on a sub tour in Kona Bay, Kona, Hawaii. The structure is a sunken modern sailboat that burned in the harbor and has been taken over by the reef fish.

Modifications in CS4 included; Curves, Topaz Adjust, Topaz Detail, Hue & Saturation, Vibrance & Saturation, Brightness & Contrast and other normal PS image adjustments.

Enjoy!

Mark, I like the day-glow look. It's an interesting scene and I think you framed it well. I'm not sure about the vignette. It looks natural in the LLC but maybe a smoother transition for the other edges? Nice image for the theme.
Anybody interested in a "red" theme???

Mark, love the colors. I like the vignette - it feels like you're looking out of a porthole but maybe a little more on the bottom to make it more even?

Mark, I love the color and the different environment. I think the vignette is ok, maybe needs a bit more in the LRC. Denise, I was thinking about "red" as a theme today also. ;)

Red it is!:)

You've started something now, Mark....How's about a theme..anything goes as long as the image only has only one color.....:cool:

Image fits the them to a tee..

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

The vignette is as shot. Not much really done to the image. I pano cropped it to eliminate the dead area on top. The vignette effect is probably do to the porthole and my 35-350mm lens. I didn't want to crop it more, as I didn't want to eliminate the best Angel fish image in the LRC, which is at the edge of the frame as shot.

Very cool, the blue gives it an eeriness to it.
