About the Image(s)
Kohler-Andres State Park along Wisconsin’s shoreline of Lake Michigan preserves sand dunes. I was attending a club convention nearby, so traveled to the location in late afternoon on a somewhat overcast late afternoon. There are birch trees spotted about the sand dune area, so I made one the focus point of this image while preserving the environment of the preserve, hence the sandy area at bottom right. I added contrast by darkening the ground cover near the tree and brought out the highlights between that area and the foreground with some dodging and burning. Standard PS and LR processing with six Topaz Studio adjustments. Tech info: f/14, 1/250 sec., 80mm focal length, 4.7 max aperture, center weighted average metering.

A photo that with a little enhancement can come to life.
So I have done some minor editing and present that to you
for your evaluation. Some minor enhancement and saturdation
of the elements separate them a little more and give the photo some life. I'm not sure you will like it but everyone has different tastes and opinions when your talking about photos.   Posted: 05/14/2022 19:20:05
