Wonderful series, it's making me homesick. Many hours my first years learning to photograph were spent from Santa Cruz north to Half Moon Bay and south to Pt Lobos.
Thanks for sharing, Bev

There was a trick I learned a couple years ago, I think it was from a Ben Willmore tutorial. It's not perfect, but should get you started in the right direction.
Duplicate the original layer. Select the duplicated layer then run filer>blur>average (slider all the way to the right), then set the blend mode to color. You'll have a solid color in the thumbnail. Now do an image > adjustment>invert, you'll still have a solid color thumbnail, but with the inverted color. Finish this by adjusting the opacity slider until it blends to your liking with the original layer.
This usually gets me going, then for additional touch ups I try a selective color adjustment layer, a hue/saturation adjustment layer, and/or color balance adjustment.
Good luck, Bev

I really enjoy the way you put together color with the black & white using the dreamy look. Thanks for trying something different, if we don't try, we'll never know. Bev

Irrigation systems have always been an intriguing graphic for me. I feel you've done a great job capturing this one.
Thanks, Bev

Appreciate the additional information on smart objects. Haven't used them as much as I should, but just had to relearn as I was designing a brochure with 15 photos which might need resizing.
Thanks, Bev

Love your images. I had a 2-day workshop years ago and found it thrilling and a little scary to be amongst such large mammals.
Thanks for sharing and the memories.

Love your images. The first one is my favorite. Great idea to shoot them at the Super Market.
