Footprints in the sand

Footprints in the sand, originally uploaded by Jon Block.

I turfed out this old shot from Greece last year (taken at the same time as this one) as I thought I could add something to the shot with the post-processing skills I've learnt in the last few months.

I think I've certainly made it a lot more appealing, although I wonder whether it's not also made it a lot more cheesy - maybe it is just inherently cheesy though, and not a case of the production work making it so.

If you're interested I used the pixel blending technique referred to in this tutorial and tinkered with it in various other ways.

Sunset on Plaka beach, Naxos, Greece

I have to admit to cheating slightly on this photo: I had to underexpose the surf and sky of the original RAW and overexpose the sand and then merge the two images back together. I think it works quite well, although if you view it in large you can see some stranges lines just where the surf meets the sand on the right hand side.
