Post Processing Challenge February 6, 2021

There are no rules as to how you apply your post processing to this image; but, please let us know what you have done so we can all learn.

If you would like to post a candidate image next week, please ensure it is of sufficiently high resolution for manipulation by the participants (3000px on the long side, 300dpi for example).

Most of all, let's have fun while we are learning or demonstrating how we use our post-processing software, imaginations and interpretations.

As seen on this morning's walk on Punta Colorada.

It's 2-for-1 day because I was trying to take photos and catch the waves while Harry was pulling on the lead to continue our walk. The waves rolling in off the southern Atlantic ocean were quite large for here. One of these fishers pulled in a big one out of the surf.

Wonderful photo's as always, @PuntaColorada!

Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high

This is a composite of both photos. I started by straightening the horizons. Then I duplicated the bottom image, reversed it left to right and pasted the result to the left of the bottom image. That way, the ocean looked continuous. Next, I cropped the top image and pasted it on the left side of the composite, and adjusted the scale. Then it took some blending of ocean details and cloning of ocean and land details for the final result.

Two more great photos to play with! I like the idea of providing two photos of the same subject with different fields of view.

PSE2020 - - Flipped 2nd image horizontally, used "Photomerge" to composite both images, applied 3 tools - impressionist brush & sharpener, dodged people toward center slightly

Punta, this certainly is a significant change of pace. How dare Harry to pull on the lead while you were trying to line up and shoot photos!

I used CS6 to crop the image, straighten the horizon, and to increase canvas size so I could add more sky. I then used Luminar 4 to add the sunset, finally back to CS6 to adjust the color using Color Balance.

Oops! Sorry I messed up above. I decided to straighten horizon and timed out.

Great shot! Some channels play only.
