 Another one from the night shoot at La Jolla Cove park.

The scene is lit by those terrible yellow-orange sodium street lamps which cover most of the city of San Diego (the urban legend says that this is for the benefit of he Palomar observatory, I am not so sure about that). The color cast they produce is so strong that it cannot be completely removed by changing color temperature in RAW conversion, but in this case I did not even tried that, but wanted to use this cast for a "surreal" Dali-like effect.

Cool blue background for this, and somehow the tones work!

I know all too well about the Yellow Sodium lights btw.

The jeans and skin actually had to be desaturated and hand-toned.
