tweaked the Curves, saturation and sharpening.”

“A slow shutter speed panning shot
of a surfer catching an early morning

“I took this image from the basket of
a hot-air balloon, using a wide-angle
lens to capture as much as possible of the
surreal and vast landscape. I used Levels,
Curves and saturation to varying extents.”
