Default Surf City

I took this shot on New Years day, there was not much color and looked very bleak. I was playing around with the color in photoshop and got this by complete accident. I think it was a good accident, what do you think?

Thanks for your comments!

Nice shot. Good composition. Seems a bit over exposed though.

I like it, but could we see the pre-photochop original?

I like the perspective. It really draws you into the shot.

janderson76,

As was suggested, I'd like to see the original, too. Half the fun is discovering the amount of change and whether your original might have stood on its own merit. Sometimes "bleak" is good. Hang on to that imagination. Experiment on!
