Challenge: Where's Waldo? II (Basic Editing II)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM
Location: Beaver Lake, Mount Royal Mountain, Montreal, Qc
Date: Jan 3, 2005
Aperture: f/8
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/200 s
Galleries: Landscape, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Jan 3, 2005

 Shot using my 70-200 f/4 L @ 70mm.

Shot in RAW and converted using EVU. No exposure adjustment, but very slight WB tweaking.

In PS7: Crop, levels, desaturated and colorized using saturation (colorize) feature. Then resized, USMed, and then created three gaussian blur levels at different blur intensities and different layer opacities to get a nice soft focus effect. A final USM, then border and save for web.

Nice coloring. This give such a solitary feeling. Not crazy about the border, though.

Not thrilled about the frame, but does not affect your score. I like the sepia, does well here. Met the challenge dead on. There is a graininess about this shot that I like very much. 8.

I was bored with a lot of the woods pictures....a lot of people had this idea, but you do have a great shot. I like yours a lot more than other similar ones. The sepia coloring adds a nice feel.
