Shanghai Kite
Shanghai Kite – Pop of Red

Black and white pictures with a spot of color have become slightly trite, but, that doesn't stop me from doing it to certain pictures.  This is one I've imagined doing this to since I originally took the photo as I absolutely loved how the kite popped against the Shanghai city background.

Great Wall Tilt Shifted

Tilt shift photos fascinate me because when done right it's hard to believe it's really a photo of something real and not a model.  This was my first attempt at it and I really love the way this photo came out.
