Roman Baths

These are the Roman baths in Portland-Dorset, UK.  So what does this have to do with photographic editing?  I"m glad you asked.  After cropping the image to remove some straggling tourists, I applied some selective sharpening and clarity to the stone but not to the water.  There's a nice smooth reflection in the water and some steam coming off of it and I didn't want to loose that, but at the same time I wanted to show the texture of the stone.

Remember, you can learn fast and easy editing techniques in my eBook, "Photoshop Elements 10 For First Time Users".  It's available on iTunes, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other eBook reader sites.
