    I took this today with my Canon S100, a little camera I take with me everywhere. I was on my way home from grocery shopping.

    Processed in Elements 10: Levels, Contrast, Selective lighten and darken and saturate; TA >Crisp; CEP> Darken/Lighten Center; 2 textures by Coffee Shop and 2 textures by Shadowhouse Creations.

    C&C welcome.

    Anita, it does look like a gray day and I think the textures enhances the mood. Does it need a slight CCW rotation?

    Thanks. Good eye! It did need a slight rotation. I also did a levels adjustment and a clone. Here is my repost.

    Anita you certainly are a master of stacking textures. Although each is very subrle, the overall effect is stunning. I like the re-post very much. My only nit now is a vertical small line just to the left of center in the sky. Don't know what made that grab my eye but I keep coming back to it.

    Yup, I see it. I'll clone it out. It came from one of the textures. Many thanks. I appreciate your input. Stacking textures is largely a matter of trial and error. f:-)

    Those gray skies really bring back memories of when I lived in NY! Beautifully done and I like the composition of 2/3 sky and 1/3 foreground.

    This is a beautiful composition, Anita. What I like most is the framing with a wide gray sky where all the textures come alive and how the long road leads our eye to the farm. Excellent processing!
