VPW #05 (Arc)

Thanks Val, the crop was a good idea.
Process was copy background with blend mode - color dodge 56%
Adjust sharpness 50%, Radius 10px, remove gaussian blur
Crop out sky to deepen the gorge.

  1. John - this shot resulting from the previous series is a superb example of how the right cropping can enhance the photo. You've eliminated the distractions and really brought the focus in on the arc. Good job!

  3. Sorry mate, didn't catch that and don't forget The U.S. of A. and Britain and by connection australia are three countries separated by a common language. Wasn't intending to waste your time.

  4. The question was poorly worded and I made a couple of changes. Thanks for pointing that out.
