    Hey Mark, always something interesting from you! Good toning and detail in the center part. I think I would like the blur (t/s effect) better if it were more blended in, but I think I see what you were going for with the framing.

    Interesting composition, Mark. I do like the color and the details in the center. Nice looking frame. I too would have preferred a more blended blur.

    Beautiful tones! Seems you had fun with the new Topaz software and put it to good use. I agree that a more gradual transition from blur to sharp would enhance this image. Thanks for sharing.

    Very interesting treatment, tones and textures, Mark. Have to get out to the Smoky Mountains again sometime. Some good suggestions above.

    Mark, I agree w/ the others regarding the transition of the blur-but I do know you have your own style and that may have been your vision, thanks for sharing.

    Excellent old look, Mark. I love the color tones and grainy look. I agree on blending the blur more. Another idea would be to eliminate the blur entirely, which I think might look nice too.
