Byron Bay from afar (2)

This is another view of the Cape Byron Lighthouse. It is the little white "thing" top-right of the photo. I took this photo from quite far away, zooming right in with my lens. It was a bit hazy that day, and the zoom didn't help, so the photo turned out very misty/hazy looking. I had to enhance the photo. That's why this is not the best shot, but I still like the composition of it, and here you can see the most eastern part of the Australian mainland.

Crop & Shadow Adjustment

First I straightened the horizon by half a degree, then cropped away most of the sky and foreground. I wanted the sea to get the most emphasis and didn't feel that the sky added anything to the image. With the Shadow/Highlight adjustment tool in PS CS, I increased detail I brightened up the photo overall, plus I used the dodge tool at 20% to paint over some of the highlights. Sharpened slightly.
