Old Photo
This is the old cemetary in Micanopy. It started as an infrared image and I used Nik Silver
Efex Antique Plate 1 with Ilford Delta 100Pro film, then Nik Efex Pro Soft Sepia, then 3 different textures from here, then a pencil sketch effect on a dup layer, and finally one of my own textures blended with soft light. Thanks to Christopher for such a concise workflow - it helped me a lot.:)
Thanks for looking. Comments & suggestions welcome.

You're very welcome, Cheryl! :) I really like your result. The toning and textures look great, and I love how your eye is drawn into the image to the gravestones.
Cheryl, The tombstone fading is almost ghost-like/surreal ... Maybe it's just the night...
:D TFS
Powerful and well-executed Cheryl! Very nice work on this one. I love the composition and treatment. Great job of pulling the eye with both leading lines and light.

Cheryl, I love what you did here. Very nice work. The FG tree that is down and going side-to side is a minor distraction to me. But I agree w/ you in not cropping it out. I do wish that the center area of the image that is lit had a bit more definition. I love the mossy eery feel to the scene and think that you effects all came together well. Nice job.
Niice image and application, Cheryl.
Fitting for Halloween week as well. ;)
I love the textures and tones in the image and the darker edges of the composition leading in to the lighter area in back.
Denise, the fg side to side piece is the boundary of that particular plot although after all the filters it is hard to tell that. Maybe I should have revealed more of it through the layers?

Now I get it! DUH!!:) I guess it wasn't clear to me, sorry.
Beautiful composition and effect, Cheryl. The tunnel effect with bright faded end makes it so much more interesting. TFS.
Agree that it is a great use of Christopher's tutorial. I'm going to try it myself soon. I like the mystic look, but do wish there the center had a bit more defined detail to it. Not darker, just more defined. Otherwise, a great cemetery, especially on Halloween!
Beautiful image and post processing work! I love the tones, textures, shapes and the ephemeral look to it all.
