Nautica Queen on the Cuyahoga River

It was a great night for cruising up the Cuyahoga and here is the Nautica Queen with a full load of Friday evening partiers.

Soft evening light. Quiet waters. Skyline off to the side.

This second version was enhanced by adding a red filter in Adobe Lightroom to give it more nostalgic look. Which do you prefer?

American Star

I found this star-flag decoration on the door of the township hall in Chagrin Falls.


This is the original with all the colors pretty much as they are in real life.


This version emulates a strong Velvia-film enhancement. Very bold, more saturation and nice vignette along the edges to make it pop.


This version bleaches out the colors to give it an antique look.

Camera: Canon 5D
