A quiet sundeck reserved for guests sailing in Concierge level staterooms on the Disney Dream.  On this embarkation day while at Port Canaveral you could have it all to yourself!

While I was adjusting the saturation sliders in the Hue/Saturation/Luminance panel and I accidentally dropped the orange saturation slider to 0 and the pillows popped right off the chairs. I liked the selective color look I was seeing so I found a similar image I captured and dropped the saturation as illustrated in this screenshot.

Here is the final result after a little more post processing.

This accident has taught me one thing…. It is OK to experiment with your photos as  you never know what you may come up with!  It’s digital, make a virtual copy of the original and go to town.

One of the first riders of the cruise goes for a ride on the AquaDuck on the Disney Dream.  This section of the water coaster extends over the ship above the water.

The AquaDuck is a thrilling water coaster accessible on Deck 12 Aft aboard both the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy.  Riders are propelled at high speeds through an acrylic tube on a breathtaking journey up, down, around and off the side of the ship, through the Forward Funnel and—following a mammoth drop—into a lazy river.

Developed by Disney Imagineers, this elevated water coaster travels 765 feet and features exciting twists, turns and plunges. It was designed for adults and children at least 42″ or taller. Single riders must be at least 54″ or taller. Children under 7 must ride with someone 14 years of age or older, provided the child is at least 42″ tall.

The AquaDuck affords breathtaking views of the ocean and ship below—that is, if you’re brave enough to keep your eyes open during this exciting ride! It also offers a bird’s-eye view of the exciting new pools available to family, kids and adults on the Disney Dream.

I had the original version of this image set as my iPhone background and I ended up turning on the iOS Accessibility feature White on Black which inverts the colors to help those who need or prefer a higher contrast to read.  Anyway, I loved what it did to my wallpaper so I set out to create the alternate version by simply inverting the image and some final adjustments.  I am not usually into alternate processing of images, but this really caught my eye.
