As I was coming along the country road I spied this little boat in a pond. I stopped and took a few pictures of it. Kim’s challenge for Texture Tuesday was to use two textures. I changed the colour photo to a black and white and then added Kim’s texture Autumn burst on blending mode of softlight and turned it so that the holes were on the left. I did a levels adjustment and then added Kim’s luminous on colour burn blending mode. To finish off I added a solid colour of a blue shade and brought the opacity down. I added a gaussian blur and added a frame from Isobel LaFrance.
I will also be joining Lisa Gordon for the Creative Exchange. Have a wonderful day. Valerie

Wow, great processing. I love the end result. Even though the colors in the photo are tranquil the boat almost looks like it has a full on smile.
A wonderful image!!
I read your description of the work you did on your photo and realize that I have so much to learn. The boat has such a nostalgic, moody feel to it.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
