Weekly Photo Challenge: Extra, Extra

It’s been a busy week here filled with family activities, end of school projects, a band concert and a Wednesday birthday. Mine! I was lucky enough to have the day off but couldn’t fit everything I wanted to accomplish into the happy day and still try to relax at the same time. One of the things I thought wouldn’t make the list was a walk along the waterfront but as luck would have it we went out for dinner by the Marina and I got my walk right at sunset.

Dinner with my guys was wonderful and I’m choosing to think of this pretty view as my “extra” present.

And really pretty it is, Lisa ! I’d be really interested to learn what kind of post-production you did …?

  Thanks, M-R. 🙂 Since this is an iPhone shot that was taken a little late in the day for a clear image I experimented some with the processing. I always start with Snapseed for tuning and details then for this one I applied some of the glow effects in Perfect Photo Suite 8. I’m glad you like it!

    I think I like best the way the reflections on the water remain crisp and the rest of the frame is rendered a bit … mystical ! 🙂

Lisa- You’ve captured two of my favorites: (1) When the clouds, like curtains, raise just enough to get a peak at the the Olympics (2) Piers- my husband and I have deemed Puget Sound piers as the BEST places for a hug.
Happy Birthday ❤

well amy – this photo would also qualify for the “work of art challenge” because the coloring and the lighting is so artsy – and then to read it was a b-day shot made it even more special – 🙂 ❤

Ah, that crazy end-of-school-year rush is enough to require a very long vacation in payment of making it through! But you’re walk in the sunset comes in a close second 😉 Lovely shot. And happy belated birthday, Lisa!
