Redington Long Pier with a "gradient" twist.....
@Shawna: Thanks Shawna - I must confess that I am a baby with Photoshop and have been learning through generous tips from other photographers - I am simply amazed at what can be done!

Good photo.
I like the fact that you keep coming to this specific spot :)
Do you have any infrared plugins? I wonder how it looks in infrared.

@Streetlights: Thanks Streetlights! No - I don't have an IR plug-in and I am totally intrigued with IR! I have tried some of the conversions but with no real success...Always great to hear from you!

I dont personally like these filters, kind of difficult to say if the photograph was good or not. Just my opinion.

That's a really interesting shot... very IR-like, the sky looks fantastic

@Ash: Thanks Ash - I am totally intrigued with IR, but can not do the conversions well - this was one of the gradient map options....
DTW from Orlando, United States
The sky looks like one of those dreaded hurricanes is coming.

surreal! the gradient effect is almost cinematic.

@M.E.: Thanks ME!!!! The gradient map has multiple options and I think are all very compelling and artsy!
@Stunner: Thanks Stunner!
Roger from Winnipeg, Canada
The geometry of the pier and the formations in the sky really work well together here. Very dramatic effect. It draws you in!
