I'm not sure why I didn't post this one at the time it was taken, but having worked on it again I did think it was worth putting up. As with a lot of my recent work, this was processed in LAB Color mode rather than RGB, though in this instance I think I could just have easily have used RGB.

If you're interested, the original is here:

A classic beachcombing image, the tones that have come out in the PP are fantastic. Just goes to show that theres still nowt wrong with the 20D either!

Yeah ,agree with Rhys, very nice toning and a classic beachcombing image, different sort of palette to usual, I like the magenta-ish cast, looks fresh, absolutely lovely!

This is simply the type of imagery that attracted me to Chromasia all those years ago.... I like its simplicity, its uncomplicated composition, and tonality. Its what inspired id7 way back when, and makes me crave to see it printed........Simple. csj@id7.co.uk

Love the purple hues in this one...the orange handle adds a nice touch.

I love the tones in this picture! I like the sharpness too.

What kind of post processing did you use?

Incredible post processing! If I had shot something like the original image, I may have simply give up on it in photoshop and not process it at all. I envy those who have the chance to see your tutorials. :)

Isn't it a beauty! Very nice shot. PP is great as usual. Looks like a dead man's chest of Davie Jones :)

Very Chromasia - ace processing.

Amazing! I love the contrast and detail. I tried replicating this one in CS3 but couldnt... Thanks again for posting the original! Can't wait for another.

Take care.

Good old tesco. Nothing like lifting a few of those delivery crates for handy storage!

comment by Alice at 10:04 PM (GMT) on 25 January, 2008

Great shot! I like the foreground detail and the DOF is perfect.

Nice toning, and great combination of colours!
