here's another try.
what do you think? Do you think there is too much color in the sky or grass?

Thanks for any C&C!

Hi Cheryl, I like this one. It kinda looks like the viewer is looking through a dirty window on a rainy day.

[Cheryl Flory]

I see what yo mean, Andrew.
Now how do you make it look like the image is on top of the texture paper, instead of behind a dirty window on a rainy day??

[Andrew McLachlan]

Cheryl not sure how to do that. I have never tried any of this type of work yet, but this is cool I would save it for an alternate version.

This looks great, Cheryl! The blurring and somber tones give it a rather ghostly feel. I think reducing the blurring would help reveal more details and make it look less like a "dirty window on a rainy day," but I would definitely keep this version too.

[Cheryl Flory]

Thanks, Christopher. There isn't much detail in the original, it was a very heavy fog.... was trying for a ghostly feel. but didn't quite make it, so tried the texture.

How DO you get a ghostly feel to an image :2

[Christopher Miller]

I would say you definitely succeeded in your goal of a ghostly feel. The only suggestion I have would to maybe try adding a vignette to take the ghostly feel up a notch or two if you want.

[Cheryl Flory]

It looks darker to me, but not any more "ghostly"...
I'm not sure what you mean, Christopher.

Love the mood to this one, Cheryl. Real nice job with the textures.

[Christopher Miller]

Cheryl, I was thinking that a vignette might add a darker, more spooky feel to the image. Here's a repost showing what I had in mind.

Cheryl, Nice work on this one. I agree a little less blur. It looks crooked and it is probably level but I might still try to make it appear less slanted? I like Christopher's re=post and I think you did a terrific job on this one.

[Cheryl Flory]

Thanks, Denise.
How do you straighten a building when it looks crooked/out of perspective? It isn't, but looks that way because of the angle I had to stand to get the photo.

I like your "almost ghostly" image. I like the dark mood in your repost better than the original. I also like Christopher's version.

Hi Cheryl, I like the ghostly appearance. Nice progression of images in this thread! Nicely done.

Cheryl, I really like your second post. It has a great feel to it
