A cyclone in the north of the state caused the Avon River rapids to flow in Perth in the middle of summer (a rare event). Image is of a playboater about to get some eskimo rolling practice!
I had no intention of desaturating this image when I took the photo, but unfortunately the water was an ugly muddy orange/brown colour, which looked most unpleasant. Editing consisted of desaturation to do away with the water colour and a slight increase in saturation to the remaining colours. Small increase in sharpness, cloned out a couple of distracting reflective stickers on paddle and PFD, added border and resized. No cropping as the image was already composed as I had intended.
