This one - a little side door to a church in the Norfolk Broads in England, an area I visited many times. Unfortunately this photo turned out slightly blurred (I scanned it from a slide). However, playing around with textures, this wasn't a disadvantage. I love how it looks now, it has this weathered style which is exactly what this part of the church looked like (well, the entire church actually). I also love how the color of the foxglove is repeated in the old stone wall.
The recipe:
- layers adjustment and some sharpening
- Bonnie's texture "etched in stone" blended in linear light at 70% opacity
- hue/saturation adjustment
Photo Art Friday starts tonight - please check it out if you have time. This is also photo # 2 for The August Break.

This is a gorgeous door, and am sure it is so old. It is quite lovely how the foxglove picks up on the stonework. Really nice! I just love doors !

ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece of digital art. So many people add a blur to their photos ... so why not use our photos that come with a bit of blur?!! Thanks for sharing this piece with Photo Art Friday, Carola.
