Description
Ok.. this is the most excited I've felt in a while with my work. Taking apart and modifying some stock photoshop actions have allowed me to do great new things with stuff that I long put in the "blah" pile. (Awesome way to learn new tricks.)Hydi @ the Halona Blow Hole
Oahu, Hawai'i
(Halona means "lookout" or "peering" in Hawaiian)

Like the colour scheme. Very random though.
What does the symbol mean? Sorry, I am very ignorant.

Thanks!
No worries! Here is what my logo symbol means -
The logo actually made of the initials HKD, for Hawaiian Kine Design.
(Look at it sideways, and you will see the letters.)
Upright, I turned them to make a Hawaiian petroglyph. It represents strong personal mana (spiritual power)
For the example, you'll see that it looks like a man with a fish hook, and the circles above tell that the petroglyph is someone who is very powerful and well-respected in his/her community. It made to remind people of the demi-god Maui who fished out the Hawaiian islands from the bottom of the sea with a magic hook, made from the jaw bone of one of his ancestors. (Important note!- the petroglyph doesn't represent the demi-god Maui directly, just the mana (spiritual power) that someone like Maui possesses.)
Hope that helps some.... thanks for asking about it!
Happy Holidays! 
(ps- sorry for the late reply!)

I love how you've edited the colors in your photos. What I like most about this, and which applies to much in your gallery, is the sharpness and the lack of disturbing elements - great and interesting composition
