About the Image(s)

BACKGROUND: The location is a popular tourist attraction in Sicily called the " Turkish Stairs ". It is a sedimentary limestone formation. Because it is popular, it is difficult to photograph it without tourists present, but with the erase tool, it was quite easy to de-people it. The white color reminded me of an iceberg and I wanted to create the effect of someone being stranded on the iceberg.

Technical: Eos Rebel 6S, F8, 1/1000, Iso 100. Used LR and PS to edit.

Michael,

Your post processing achieved the end state you were after. My eye goes right the lone survivor...

Well done

Michael, you successfully turned a snapshot into a fascinating photograph. Did you erase the "extraneous" people individually or use the relatively new Find Distractions tool?

Nice work!
