Thatch Umbrellas

An archive shot, taken a couple of years ago in Nha Trang, vietnam

Pat, you might consider using content-aware fill, clone stamp or healing brush to remove white spot on left, or just crop it off. Otherwise, a nice shot.

Hi, Pat! Long time no see, I missed you!

Hi Pat,

  Wonderful scene with beautiful colors.  Take care, Patsy

Right now I could go for 'thatch' or 'vinyl' !! as long as the sea is that colour and it is warm!! We have neighbors who are going to Viet Nam in a few weeks for a wedding. Seems so very far away.

Hi  Pat,  I'm with Jim Downs on this one.  It's a nice composition.  I could use this inviting warm setting right now in Minnesota.  I couldn't resist tinkering.  Please don't be offended.  First, I applied auto white balance that cut down the blue cast. The image was blown out on both ends in PS6, so I cut the highlights way down.  I used the Nik Software filters for pre-sharpening and then reduced brightness and added a bit of structure to enhance the texture in the straw and sand.  Finally, i applied an ND filter reducing exposure by about .50 in the upper half of the image.  And, a cropped out the white blotch on the left along with some of the sky.  Obviously, i like the image, otherwise why do this stuff. All of this is pretty much my routine in processing my images.  Larry

Oh what a pleasant image to look at, especially this morning when it's 4 degrees here in NJ. Thanks for sharing this Pat. Keep em' coming. Great view.

Best Regards,
