You are welcome, Ron. It is very nice beach not a lot of people know about yet. Usually very quiet.

You can read all about this tower here, Mandrake:

"It was built at the same time as the house at the top of the bluff, in 1926, and was used as a way to get from the house down to the beach below, which is a beautiful stretch of sand called Victoria Beach."

Thank you so much for the Information, Oksana.

Is the cliff holding up the tower or is the tower holding up the cliff?

Why put the tower here, anyway?
Just put the very top part of the tower on top of the cliff.
Waste of time and money, I say.

btw... Nice job, Michael.

I like the crop, but I think you might slightly oversharpened it. It does start to look like a grafic, but it is all the metter of taste.

It also would be great if you post what software you used to edit the image and maybe even some info on how you edited it if you like. It can even be a screenshot of your adjustment.

Have fun!

Great idea, Michael. Looks almost realistic.

I.e., no cigar.

Great idea, Michael. Looks almost realistic. The bottom of the tires bothers me a bit. Maybe smooth them out a bit (there some weird bend) and put the small shadow right under.

Also interesting that you choose to darken right bottom corner? Why did you decide to do that? It does look like you might be taking the photo through the window of another car and something is blocking your view. Just curious.

Thank you and thanks for the suggestion 🙂 I'll play around with that. Even the screen shot above doesn't look exactly like what I did. But it looks better than when I tried to reduce it. When I reduced the image to upload, the glowing edges got all messed up.

Interesting choice of edit for this image, Joe. I also like that you shared the screenshot of your edit settings. It looks like you had fun with it. I am sure this edit would look differently in different size of the image. For this size, I might try to create thicker strokes (maybe in Glowing edges settings, not sure), so it is more visible.

Sometimes I just like to do something completely different. I used PS, Convert to Smart Filters, Sprayed strokes, Glowing edges. I had to take a screen shot instead of uploading the image, because when I reduced the size it looked different than what I did.
