"Lady with Umbrella 2"
Uploaded: September 22, 2006
Image taken at the Pritzker Pavillion.
Converted original image in my gallery to B&W, painted umbrella red via PhotoShop techniques including (among others) layers, desaturation (to covert image to B&W), selective coloring & saturation (to enhance red umbrella). Kudos to bp member Gail Vitikacs for providing the inspiration for this 'project.'
