The Interim Image
Uploaded: December 23, 2011

The photographer seen in this shot is the leader of our Meetup photography group. I showed him this version and he said, "But the guy in the suit has a "Hat!" Oh NO...How did I MISS that?? He also remarked that this version made the foggy, 50F day appear to be blizzardy, and that HE was the only spectator dressed for cold. So the final version was given more contrast using a touch of the "Dark Contrast" filter in Nik Color Efex 4.
