📷 Peaking At The Ocean - Wish You Where Here #31

How cool is that to just be walking with your friends spending the day exploring the ocean and beaches. I wish me and my friends were doing that right now. I wish they were here to make more good memories.

Or perhaps even you, yes you, what do you say we go kick back at the ocean just walking around picking up seashells and strange items we find along the beach just to toss them back in after taking some pictures of them! You, of course, would have to bring some snacks and water :)

Yes..... well .... hmm... wish you were here.

This one was a bit of a challenge. I was trying to remove the dirty sky but other saturated or over colored it and still didn't really get rid of the dirty grain of the sky. I could smooth out the blockiness that it exposed after changing it but I'm trying to learn how to do it without smoothing it just loses detail when you do that. I could layer another clear sky over this and merge it until I have a mix of both fading the parts that are the most grainy/dirty and it would be hard to see two skies exist. Right now I'm just trying to learn how to bring out the best and putting the worse out of sight. Like I said it's a challenge and will learn how to do it better!

If anyone has any tips I would appreciate it.

Orginal: I feel like the sky in the original is better than the changes I did. However, the land and ocean come out better. I do think I should have added more green tones to the land...hmm I'll have to mess with that later.
