Sharpen (High Pass)

For the first part of our theme assignment, we had to take pictures over spring break. The theme I chose is "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness". This photograph is of footprints that were left in the sand from someone walking into the ocean.

 Since the original photograph wasn't that clear, I boosted the contrast and brightness, using the curves adjustment in photoshop. Then I did the high pass sharpen to add emphasis to the sand and to the footprints.
