Just out one afternoon enjoying the sun, and playing around with some very selective focus. Why does the wind blow whenever I shoot nature? I like the wistful daydream quality of this photo. Kind of appropriate for a lazy day on the beach.

Their newest product is Topaz Impressions, and I found this photo particularly suited to that application. Here, I’ve used the Cezanne impressionist painting preset.
