Evening at the beach in Normandy. This is one of my favorite pics, and I wondered if there would be a way to improve it. I think I managed to shift the color to even better fit the time of the day.
- Straightened to get the horizon actually horizontal
- A smidgen of sharpening with Unsharp mask
- Lightened slightly with an exposure adjustment layer
- Orange/purple gradient map layer, in soft light blending mode, 50% opacity.
