Shot this last summer in Sekiu, WA, just got around to working on it. Was a fairly dark image and still is somewhat but instead of jacking up exposure in ACR I applied a NIK high key filter then some glamour glow, then back into PS CS5 to finish it off. Large version included. Thanks for looking.

That's a winner...I enjoy seeing this closeup as it delivers details that are never observed...the dots are so much like snow flake designs. Beautiful. Yeah...hard to pull left side dark areas much brighter if this was already underexposed and you squeezed it like a turnip. Well done!

Very well done. I love the colors, shapes and textures. I might consider burning down the highlights on the two white rocks along the left edge.

Ron,

This is very nice. You did an excellent job with the post-processing and purple sea stars are very cool!.........................Jim
