Not having any time the past few weeks to shoot, I am still concentrating on learning how to use Topaz Adjust properly to take full advantage of all the adjustments it can do. Shot this last October while on my Disney Cruise, it was completely blown out so I opened it in LR, adjusted highlights, exposure, contrast, etc. Took it into Topaz Adjust, played with it until I got something bright and fun, which was what I was shooting for, then I took it into CS4 and applied a light Guassian Blur to smooth it out.. What do you think?

Thanks for looking!!!

With all the rain, fog and just basic dreariness we have this week I just thought we all needed a touch of Spring…

Have a wonderful day..
