I chose this as my photo of the day because it’s so mysterious and moody.  It’s actually one of those misty rock garden fountain things that sits on a table – do you know what I’m talking about?  Anyway,  Adam and I were walking in the village last night and I spied the fountain in the entryway of a restaurant we passed.  I took a few photos, but thought it was sort of a silly thing to photograph… I definitely didn’t think it would become a contender for photo of the day.   When I loaded my photos today, I still wasn’t that crazy about it, but then I did some color adjustments in Lightroom.  I changed the overall color tones from yellow to blue and voila! Now I totally love it!  I feel like it’s a scene from some crazy exotic trip … like I’m standing in the dense fog below these tall cliffs taking photos in the moonlight.  Right?

This is how it looked before I changed anything in Lightroom – which way do you prefer?

Oh – and just for a giggle, here’s a photo of Adam doing his “Blue Steel” model face – he’s so FIERCE!
