Sailing Japan

Posted by Darren (Tokyo, Japan) on 27 November 2006 in Abstract & Conceptual.

I had 10 minutes to kill and was playing around with photoshop today for todays image. I took this photo last summer off the coast of Zushi just south of Tokyo on my boat. It was a real nice day but the photo didn't do it justice so I played around with it and ended up with this.

@Stu: Thanks Stu. I just started to play around with photoshop and took it from there trial and error stuff. I still need a lot of practice though.

@Still: I was worried about the gap in the top right hand corner, thats why I added the text. I'm glad everone likes it, I was a bit worried.

Looks like a starter to a series - I like the tips of other sails in the top corner.

@Jason Kravitz: Thanks Jason. I actually might start a series of them. Good idea.

I like the pastel colours it's very interesting...if the photo wasn't interesting before you've done a good job to make it so. It looks like a cover page to some website.
