A cool, modern design at the South Coast Plaza bridge calls for a fun project involving a mix of duplication, contrast, and hue effects. Alternating the colors with green and purple shades give extra intensity to the exterior architecture of this walkway.
One set of palm trees sitting right by the beach at twilight.
After cloning then reversing the image to create a mirror effect, I altered the skies with contrasting hues and vertical striped lines.
It truly lives up to its name with mansions surrounding the park and beach (for miles and miles), gorgeous views from the waters, and the calming, coastal glamour that you can only dream of.
This was one of my favorite pics from this beach and I decided to add a cool blue filter to it to create a calming, yet somewhat moody photo to match the grey overcast skies. The different textures from the clouds create a slight pastel effect, which lends itself a nostalgic, ethereal, dreamy quality.

Meant to resemble the State of California, the Noguchi Garden provides a welcome escape for locals and tourists alike. This compact, flowing, minimalist garden looks especially zen in photos and gives off an abstract look and feel, letting the viewers interpret the designs themselves.
The afternoon glow created extra vibrant, golden lighting at the top, cutting into the pyramid and offering the perfect contrast.
