Aged Victorian Summer
Ok, I added a few of the textures that Christopher suggested in his wonderful tutorial that he posted in the Resources Sticky at the top of the page. I did add a hint of selective color because I didn't want to lose the flower colors completely. This is not as easy as it looks! Let me know your thoughts. BTW-This is the only other view I shot of the scene.
Hi Denise, this is beautiful. I like the added hint of selective color. I would have preferred a bit reduced effect of the dark texture on top of pillar. It's definitely not an easy one and I think you have processed it well.
Denise, you are so right about this not being easy but you did a great job. Wonderful aged look with just enough of the color left in. It still has that sweet hand-tinted look too. Nice!

Very nicely done and certainly has a feel of hand tinting which goes very well with the scene. All three versions work really nicely. I do agree with Indranil that a slight reduction of the texture on the pillar may be better, but you never know until you see it!
Very nice, Denise! You did a good job.
Denise, I really like the colors you left in the blossoms and the sepia tone also. I think reducing the textures a little on the pillar will take this up a notch! It is such a lovely scene and I love all three comps you have posted of it! Very Nice
Love the bits of color high and low, denise. Wonderful soft glow and a great addition to your series. .
Like the aging texture on this, Denise, has a nice antique-like feel to it. Agree about the pillar. I'm also really interested to see close-up images of the flowers using the same wonderfull treatments you have created in this series.
Thanks all for the comments!!
