Photo By David Connel Today’s Photo of the Day is “View From The Top” by David Connel. Location: Bear Creek Spire in California. “Capturing this image requires a bit of work and a three- to four-day commitment,” explains Connel. “Pack your backpack with camping gear, technical climbing gear and ropes as well as recruit a climbing partner. In my case, it was my wife/outdoor model. The trail to the start of the climb is seven miles long.

It’s the fourth installment of our retouching column: last time, we looked at retouching teeth, and also wound up brightening the whites of the eyes. This time around, we’re going to look at a very common retouch: reducing wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes. Our goal when we retouch wrinkles is not to remove them but to reduce their intensity. With wrinkles, the darker the shadows appear, the deeper the wrinkles look, and the older our subject looks.
