THE REVEAL

"The Reveal" (5-10-13 12753v2a) was just fussed from a very old pic. It's in a folder which, as is often my wont, I've gotten stuck in (:-D) and keep working on it's pix. I'm always tempted to believe "getting stuck" is due to the pix touching on some unconscious memories of the time in which they were taken. In this case, that would be exactly four years ago. Can't recall anything specific about that time, but it's still a good guess as the pix are so evocative. But back to this pic: it was heavily cropped from a much larger one, diffused and sharpened, with a lot of color work done to bring out the subtle "under-colors" a bit, and then a struggle to get the contrasts "right." At this point it feels a wee bit over-worked, however I still like it. Except for a slight haziness (which I hasten to add may be my cataracts, which seem to have advanced quite a bit recently).
