Cloud Gate

Got this shot after the MS walk on Sunday.  Really pleased with the look. Processes include tone mapping, high pass filtering on the bean, unsharp masking and color matching.

Bathtime Color Match

Great tip on lifehacker today about using classic paintings to spice up your photos. I took this cute photo of Olivia and used Claude Monet’s “The Walk. Lady with a Parasol” as a source for the color match. The result is both cute (in my opinion) and vibrant.
