Holiday: Dragon Driftwood

Holiday: Dragon Driftwood, by Mary Stebbins. Taken on our holiday trip to the Pinery. Fog! Click image to view (much!) larger.

This is quite similar in some respects to the orginal. However, I cropped it, added the sun and birds from other photos taken around the same time and upped the overall red slightly under curves. Posted by Picasa

Hot day! You can see the water, the lost horizon, if you look closely. I did nothing to this picture but remove a spot and lighten it slightly. Posted by Picasa
