Galveston Fishing Pier

Today's photo is of a fishing pier destroyed by Hurricane Ike. I took this photo on the BAPC field trip to Galveston the weekend before last. It was getting late in the morning when I took this shot and the light was beginning to get a little harsh. I was able to use Photoshop to salvage what I think is a decent image. I hope you like it!

Title: "Fishing Under the Pier"


Camera / lens: Canon 40D / Canon 17-55 f/2.8 zoom lens
Post-processing: Photoshop CS3 > High Pass Sharpening > Merge Visible to New Layer > Topaz Adjust “Spicify” with a layer mask used to tone down the adjustment on some parts of the subject > Merge Visible to New Layer > Spot Healing to remove some imperfections in the sky caused by dust on the sensor > Merge Visible to New Layer > Distort Lens Correction Vignette > Brightness / Contrast adjustment layer to increase brightness

Hi Barry,
Nice image. A few halos left around the buildings but it's not a big issue I think. Most of all, I like the way it looks like it's a painting. And very good composition too.

Thank you for your comment ytem! Many of my favorite post-processing techniques tend to create halos. Some, like this one, are not too bad while others are. If you have any tips for dealing with halos I would really appreciate hearing back from you on the subject.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Cheers!
Barry

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I think its
a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.

Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm looking to start
my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
