Tones and Filters

I rarely shoot with a filter as it is now so easy to take the photo into Photoshop and apply the filters to the original photo without losing the original color photograph. Today I played with this photo applying different filters and tones. Check them out and let me know in the comments which one you like best.

For me it is a toss up between the original, the Blue Tone Shadow and the Negative. While negative isn't really a filter or tone it looks so cool I couldn't resist including it. So which do you like best?

Today I thought it might be fun to join Emily and others at Scattered Horizons Photoblog for altered Tone Tuesday. Each Tuesday photographers link up with some of their post edits. Here is one of my favorite seascape edits from a photo I took in late June.
