I think this is my favorite shot of DJ at work, he often sticks the front of his glass in places most would shy away from, including holes in the sand, puddles, the sea, and over the edge of sea walls as in this shot. That said the mans technique, and visualisation of a scene prior to releasing the shutter is second to non. This image along with one other recently posted on Chromasia has made me rethink how I look at a scene when Im out and about shooting.
The image by the way, was made up of 6 adjustment layers mainly concentrating on black and white conversion a vignette, and some work on straightening to the background layer, and a curve to the blue channel to tone it. About 20mins work and I was pretty satisfied with it.
