Abstract Thursday - Foliage

Last night, I took a three hours Photoshop course on landscape photography processing in Photoshop being offered by renowned Cape Cod landscape photographer, Betty Wiley and I learned all kinds of new things. I spent the morning reworking a photo I had taken a while back on Santa Monica Beach of one of the iconic lifeguard stations at sunset, just so I would put the techniques to use and hopefully remember them.  I have included a before and after photo in extras....just for fun. 

This is also a reworked photo taken a while ago, but a totally new creation for today so I figured it would be OK to post for Abstract Thursday.
