Pic of the Day #612

May 23, 2008

I’m trying something new with this post; I’ve tweaked the site a bit so that the most recent Pic of the Day is always the top post. Since it’s the only more-or-less assuredly regular feature of the site, I figured it should take prominence.

But hey, I don’t want to leave the good Reader hanging either. At the top of this post, there is a link to the main content, which begins just below.

Where was this taken?

This is a shot of the underside supports of…I guess it would be an observation platform near the dock we were at for the birthday party. That’s not really important; it was mostly empty, and we didn’t exactly go up there. But the support struts on the underside of the dock, partially backlit by the and with more water in the illuminated area beyond the shadow, did make for an interesting picture.

Edit-wise, this shot got a fairly standard battery of adjustments, including the calibration/Punch preset and some massive adjustments; the background was rather over-exposed. I also applied some fill light, to bring out a few details in the columns.
