Description


**The Great State Fair of Texas**

As we were leaving the Fair I turned around and noticed this photo-op - During the drive home I was contemplating what I could do digitally to this image..... This is the result. I started with the typical PS adjustments after RAW processing. A little Topaz HDR followed by the NIK Solarization filter and then some saturation with PS and NIK Color Efex.

Tamron 18-270 Di VC at 32mm. ISO 100, Mid-Afternoon, 1/640 @ f8.0, EC 0

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/640 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 32.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 50D
