A Finished Balancing Stone Image

Below is a final finished image of the single balancing stone from the stream bed in South Fork of Cave Creek Canyon.  As with all the other photography, the camera was a Canon SX110 digital IS. The original image was processed by reducing the input light level (across all colors) by about 10%, increasing contrast by about 10%, and adding a tilt shift effect.  The composition uses the sunlight reflected off the steam to highlight the balancing stone increasing apparent depth.  Click on the photograph to enlarge.
