About the Image(s)

I had an image in mind from an urge to go to the coast. I like the coast in winter, but it is too cold for me any more. I looked through some background images I collect, and found the other images in my travel files. I started with the driftwood, thought I needed more so found the shells. I added the background file from my grunge B&W images and then I felt it needed some color, so I brought in the green bushes from my Portland trip. Some images are cell phone shots and some are DSLR, Fuji and Nikon. I did the compositing in PS, and added the images to LR where I did some final touches for color and depth. All comments are appreciated as are your reworked images. I still put images together mostly for my own enjoyment, but also I get one to print.
