Down The Stairs

Topaz Adjust
Since I'm still in the midst of transferring all my photos, software, plug ins, and actions to a newer PC, I don't have any super recent photos to share today. The photo here was taken almost 2 weeks ago, when I was at the lake with some friends - the stairs down to the beach of Lake Michigan.
I used the Topaz Adjust plug-in for Lightroom to process this image - I thought a gentle HDR treatment might enhance the steep perspective I was going for.
Here is the original:
I don't use Topaz Adjust all that often, but I do like the effects you can achieve with it.

Oh my! That does look steep! Great processing to enhance it! I feel like I'm standing on top of the stairs!
oh my, these are stunning!
nicely done!
you're super creative!
I love the perspective. Very creative! I love the colors too. Really nice edit.
Wonderful photo in the first place but the edit has really smartened it - makes you feel like you can hear the sounds of the waves and rustling of the weeds more clearer almost. Really lovely photo.
Beautiful!!! I'd love to go there myself...
Gorgeous photo! I love your perspective. Makes me want to go back to Lake Michigan.
Gorgeous photo. I love stairs.
So well done.
Beautiful effect and a beautiful place too.
I love it. It captures the beach perfectly!
Beautiful place and I like your perspective.
