Scrolling down through lots of beach photos, patterns, offerings, debris and some of the mysterious things I’ve seen on our local beach, I came across the pic of a dead fish (on the right) surrounded by disturbed sand in which busy little creatures were preparing lunch.  I’ve always loved this photo though I haven’t been into this file for a while.  Scrolling down further I came across the exact same photo that some time, somehow, I’d fiddled with and turned the background to charcoal/black.  I don’t remember doing whatever I did, but I really like the effect.

Whatever I did do, though, it was several years ago,  before I knew the slightest thing about photoshop.  I’m not even interested in backtracking to find out exactly what I did, I just publish them today for our enjoyment, for, remember, this blog is my visual diary as much as anything else!
