Description

2nd place winner
Scanned from a very old print taken, I think, by my dad and played with a lot in post processing. The photo had the blue-green tones and the gradient look but I enhanced that; in addition, I added the brush strokes.
Category: Digital Darkroom

Exif: White balance: Auto white balance, Model: MG8200 series
