Crane's Beach Sand Dunes (Digitally Modified)

Crane's Beach Sand Dunes (Digitally Modified), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

Here's another photo that I took during a walk on Crane's Beach (Ipswich, MA), late afternoon October 22. I liked this shot of the sand dunes, but the original photo was not ready for prime time. I used iPhoto to clean up some small bits of litter on the sand. Then I did some cut and paste in Painter to get rid of some bigger problems, something that looked like pieces of abandoned tire left in the sand. While I was at it, I decided to use cut and paste to move some clouds around, to adjust a distracting cloud formation that was exactly in the wrong place for the composition. I also created a posterized version of this image, which I plan to post here tomorrow.
