Landscape Photo Competition 2011 : Entry Number 673

I love this for its originality and for the photographer’s beautiful, partially saturated redistribution of colour and monochrome, and other interesting post processing techniques. Excellent, sensitive work, but too far down the ‘photoshop’ road to win this competition.

"Still Blue" by Barbara Simmons, a Florida based photographer. This image is a hand painted, infrared piece. It was taken with a vintage Minolta SRT-202 film camera, processed and printed in the darkroom then scanned into Photoshop to boost contrast. A lost, but most enjoyable, art form.
