This image began with a photo that I took last night during a walk at the Cummings Center Pond. There were lots of great things to see--flowers blooming, ducks on the water, setting sun--but it was the path that caught my eye. I knew that this shining path was just the effect of the setting sun reflected on the asphalt, which was wet from a recent rainstorm. But it looked magical to me, so I took some pictures. Tonight I edited the best of them in Painter. I adjusted the contrast and brightness, and then posterized the image. I also used some color overlay to restore color to the sky (lost because the light was too bright for the camera.) To finish, I used iPhoto to straighten, crop, and retouch.
