kayak

Vicki kayaking, with a little effect and a cut-out mask.
I'll probably enter this in "Open"

baiyun

Baiyun. No effect other than putting Baiyun into bright sunlight so that the background looked dark in contrast.
"Nature" category.

baiyun2

Same as the other Baiyun picture, but this time I painted all the dark background spaces pure black. I think I like this one better.

whale_jump_sharpened

Whale watching on the Alaska cruise, cropped and sharpened.
"Nature" category.

007_4A

River sculpture in the Ottawa River.
"Architecture" category.

011_8A

Glacier in Alaska. I need to do something to this so that it doesn't go in "Nature" category, because I think the Baiyun and Whale pictures are better for that category.

Morning on the cruise ship. I liked the light on this one, but I'm not sure if it's photo contest material.
