The beautiful cuba (21)

This is one of the beautiful places in the great cuba.
It's a really lovely country. The people are so!!!! friendly, and every place is so special. I recomend you so much to go to this country.
In the picture you can see a really nice beach(maria de la gorda). They have wonderful dives there. The sky looks like this, because there was a storm coming.

Photoshop Process

This are the things I did:

1. Adjusted levels control to give more highlights to the photo and also to give a semblance of light, because the original is way too dark.
2. I isolated the sky to lighten it some more by adjusting the levels control just for the sky area.
3. I isolated the water to give it the true blue of the water by adjustng again the levels control just for the water area.
4. Align the horizon with the bottom frame becuse it is out of kilter.

That is how I like to see this beautiful place.
