Sand Zoom

[Douglas Bolt]

Canon 5DM2, 70-200 f4 IS zoomed 70 to ~150, f18, 2s, ISO 100.
PP: Cropped to put center of zoom in upper left third, Soft Light blend 15%, Nik Color Efex detail extraction control point on foam, two luminosity light2 masks using curves to add contrast to the foam, PK sharpen.

The subject was sea foam on a sandy beach.

Douglas, this is a very creative zoom. I love the colors and the composition. It reminds me of a meteor shower. Nicely done

[Dennis Bishop]

I agree with Cheryl. Great colors and composition.

I have experimented with zoom blurs for a while...like the composition and colors, highlights really help..well done

[Douglas Bolt]

Thanks for your comments.

This ver is a NIK Silver Evex mod of the above image out of Bridge without cropping or cleanup.
