Wordless Wednesday: Art from a Photo

The photo is from the 2008 trip MyGuy and i took to Hawaii.  The view is from the shelter on Spencer bBach north of Kona on the Big Island. 

i'm not sure when i began the little colored pencil sketch; probably a couple of years later.  The photo above was taken a couple of minutes after i took it up again the other night.
Somewhat farther into the process, with a better view of the photo

The additional work helped my drawing.  Contrast is an important part of the effect, though difficult to remind oneself to put in. i'd like to work more on this, but the Canson MiTientes paper won't take more pencil.  It needs a new start on heavier paper.
