October Ocean (Posterized Photo)

October Ocean (Posterized Photo)
Originally uploaded by randubnick

This image began with a photograph that I took in late October (the 26th to be exact) during an afternoon walk at Independence Park, here in Beverly, MA. I loved the combination of fall colors and bright blue ocean, so I took some pictures. This is the view from the park when you look toward Salem (Salem Willows, and in the distance, Marblehead, I believe.) Tonight I used iPhoto to crop this image out of the original photo. Then I opened the image in Painter and used some selection tools to apply the posterizing effect to everything but the sky. I think this might also make a nice digital woodcut. . . .
