Rocky Shores (36)

This is another look at Jervis Bay. You can see the gap for the bay in the distance with Point Perpendicular on the left and Bowen Island and Governors Head on the right of the gap. Jervis Bay is known for its beautiful white sand, and it is, but what they don’t tell you is about the rocky shores at Huskisson. With the tide out, these rocks with their tidal pools are left exposed. Huskisson has its white sandy beaches too, but they also have this rocky area. This is a great place for shore birds to feed, and I enjoyed exploring it myself.

This shot is looking south-east, I took another one looking north-east towards Callala Beach. Please visit the workshop to see this one.

Workflow:
I follow a generic workflow now as outlined in my Bio.
Details and differences to this are as follows:
Shot taken at 18mm, ISO 250, f/8, 1/90 sec
Levels - tweaked
Curves – tweaked
New saturation layer added, +15 to master, -15 lightness +20 to selected red – trees masked (to match web colour – proof colours with shot)
Overlay layer with 5-10% opacity black brush used for burning
Saved at 78% quality for 195K (300K limit would be nice)

On my monitor this look a little more visible with most details still in tact. I'm sure you know how to get to this result, but a quick note.
In Adobe Photoshop.
Copy and Paste on second layer. screen back 50 use erased tool to erase the part where you don't want to lighten too much. That one way. I'm sure there are other way to do it. What you think?

This is a look from the same spot looking north-east towards Callala Beach. Looking in the tidal pool you can see it was just starting to rain.
