Nice one Roz. Tough decision as I believe this shot would have done very well in the minimalism in B&W challenge. I look forward to seeing your entry.

Beach with Life Guard

Tanguera, Not a whole lot of processing done on this. I think what you are seeing is the Topaz Adjust (Portrait Smooth). I cloned out some distracting beach debris as well. I took the picture at an angle because I wanted to align the umbrellas sorta parallel to the edge of the frame. Also did the usual stuff like levels, USM, resize, SFW, etc.

Why So Serious

Cool, look like one of Jack Nicholson's movie posters.

3 - Graffiti

Some of the graffiti "art" is really good. The lady and baby compliments the picture I think and adds perpective as well.

Interesting picture. It looks foreboding going into the dark tunnel/garage.

Blue Umbrellas

Roz, These picures were actually taken I think from the 32 floor stairwell in the Hilton Rainbow tower in Waikiki. It is a great place to get these shots as the stairwell is open to the open air with no glass to get in the way. I am lucky go there on business now and then and I get bored taking the same old pics so was looking for a different perspective and found this place. An intersting note while I was up there a security guard came in the stairwell and I thought to myself "OK here it comes" but he was very nice and just smiled, nodded,and walked off.
