In June of 2007 I photographed, just before sunset, this "urban tree" piece of art in San Diego. It's now midnight, 2½ years later, and I've been rummaging around in old files. I always liked this shot, especially the copper glow on the woman's face. This time, however, I applied Topaz Adjust to the face and here and there on the seaweed. Why? Because Topaz can bring out hidden details in some images and can even out lighting and make it glow a bit. By applying this filter judiciously, I enhance what I originally loved about the scene.
I include both versions here so you can see the difference. The face stands out more. So do the complementary colors of copper and blue. And now back to bed. Perchance to dream. ©Carol Leigh
