This is a map of Okhtosk Sea. Sakhalin Bay is located in the western part (marked on the map). Chkalova island is in the south-western part of the bay (not on the map.
to leave an idea of having a photo as close to reality as possible and to go for brightness and expression...
I thought, my original photo looked too faded-colored to the most of viewers, so I decided to check out another approach to your hearts:)
here is the version which was changed using levels, curves and additional sharpening. Now it doesn't look like anything real but might be more attractive as an abstract piece. please let me know which you like better! Cheers, Olga
