Hi Katnott - Just wanted to thank you so much for your kind comment! In this photo, there isn't a whole lot in the way of Photoshop work except croping, dodging & burning, adding of some contrast / saturation, fixing a bit of sun glare, and color toning the image. The scene itself was untouched, meaning nothing was added / removed from the original (with the exception of the glare and tiny water drops that got on my lens). Thanks again for taking the time to check out my gallery... Much appreciated! Enjoy the weekend! 😊
