I find myself inspired by the work of others. This is a commitment to myself to improve my photographic skills by posting a photograph a day.
2009 was my 365 year but I find this the perfect motivator to pick up my camera on a daily basis. I continue my quest of making better photographs and focus my efforts on off camera flash.

Lady Liberty
The original. Taken on Friday during the photo walk. Its was a hazy, hot, and humid day with nothing but gray skies.
This is after hours of photoshopping. Critical feedback welcomed! I need to learn an easier way to generate layer masks.
Very nice shot. I don't think mine is this close. You were using your 70-200? I had my 70-200 and I don't think I got this close a shot. Layer masks. I would work this in Camera Raw and play with it there I will do a short video for you. I might not be until I get back from Hawaii. I just landed back here in cool rainy Seattle and feels good to be out of your heat. ;) Thank you again for your time and hospitality.
Susan - it was done with CS4 on a Mac. Lance - I did use the 70-200 and i cropped it for that closer feel. Just got back form Albany NY where it was 90+ degrees and humidity to match. YUCK!!!
It depends on the version of Photoshop you have. I need to get a newer version - still have very old version.
