Theme - Peace and Quiet

[Paul Lagasi]

This is from a slide image I took, way back in 1982 on my honeymoon...While walking around the village where I was born, I happened on this woman (she was 94) and pup, having a nap and oblivious to the world.
Converted to poster edges..

Paul, Very nicely captured and I think the dog is the icing! Nice use of the effect. You could take a bit off the top to crop out that tiny bit of stair if you wanted.

Hi Paul,The old woman is an interesting character along with the dog. Nice filter applied. Compositionally I would have preferred the woman on one of the upper steps with more room in front of her rather than being that close to the right side.

Thanks Denise, Dave for comments... liked your suggestion about cropping...also cloned out remnant of top step..

Very nicely captured, Paul. I like the effects and the little dog :). I find the laundry and window behind the woman a little distracting, but very well done.

Hey Paul, I was thinking more like just the tiny piece of step at the left top corner. But either way-nice image and effect.
