For Mom


This one is for my Mom - who is a professional artist. She will always be a professional artist, whether she has a paintbrush in her hand or not. During her "hey day", she had galleries throughout the USA - New York, Boston, Maine, Florida - oh snap - I don't really know - as my Mom was and is just "Mom". But back then - she always cheered me on in photography - and she was always keen on color, composition, light and textures. 

And today - she still cheers me on.

Anyway - this is a single image from a Sony A7R II with the Sony/Zeiss  16-35mm f/4 lens taken a few days ago in North Carolina on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

In this image - I wanted to focus on color complementary hues/tones, and set an image which was balanced both visually and dynamically. The processing, I did last night while being stranded at the airport - and, well - I "kind'a got into it" - pushing some of my boundaries in post-processing.

The original image was taken on the Blueridge Parkway - and it was processed from a single RAW file. Brought into LR, then PS - oh dang  - I can't tell you everything I did to it, as Mozart was playing in my earphones and I kind'a got lost into just "working" it at between about 1:30 - 3:30 AM this morning in the airport...

Anyway - thanks Mom...

This one is for you.
