When I tried to warm up this gray photo, look what happened. I"m not a fan of really souped up images but I thought this brought out the pink in sky at sunset.
I've been playing a bit with free photo online software for fun and have been posting them to my FB page. Overall, I go for the "full photo" but it is fun to play with the techniques. takes away the journalism/documentary form of the photo and extends the art which is sometimes good and sometimes not.
In this case, it's a hit! The skylight is just beautiful and I really do love it.
Gorgeous! Love your book via Blurb as well. I have been thinking of creating my own book both photography and a travel chapbook. How was your experience with them?
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

It does have a nice dusky pink glow V.
It's beautiful, a slight shame that it isn't natural.
Amazing shot V!
Virginia; there is nothing wrong with a pink hue - I love it! :)
It is a happy accident. :) And you probably know that quote that Ansel Adams said that 50% of his imagery were created in the darkroom...
Bon Weekend!
We should all look through rose-colored glasses!
I think it looks lovely! You've taken an already great photo and simply put a little blush on her! Even Mama approves of a tiny bit of blush.
Beautiful! I'm playing with colours at the minute and will do a whole week of it next week :)

You know I'm a huge fan of color, but a pink sky is a bit much.
Gorgeous!

How was your experience with them?
How very Piaf of you to give us la vie en rose, ma chère. Personally, I love the effect!
I used to have some sunglasses with dark brown lenses. Everything looked warm and pinkish yellow. I thought the world looked great in those days!
This is the most wonderful sight Virginia, I looooooove the slight pinkish tinge, a delicate touch is never a bad thing..
I think it's beautifully romantic...
