I took a photo this afternoon (after the storm)

with wonderful full sunshine making strong shadows.

This is the photo SOOC (straight out of camera) . . .

This is with a PSE levels correction,

which looks more like what I was seeing with my eyes . . .

Then, I play.

PSE's Dry Brush effect . . .

Using Shadowhouse Creations texture Old Canvas #4 and vivid light . . .

Fun, fun, fun.
