    Judy, I really like the composition and subtle filter use. I think the image could take a little bit of sharpening and maybe a touch of saturation, but that's just me. Like it a lot as presented! Would you consider making it into a "grunge look"?

    I'm hoping that Cobbtown has a new church.

    Judy, I really like the way you presented this old church. I wonder what the sign would look like w/o the filter. I love the vines.

    Thanks Kerry! I sharpened and saturated the image a little. Then I started from scratch and created a grungy version. I don't think grunge looks that great on foliage in general. And in this case it was windy which is one reason I used the PB filter to hide the roughness. I reduced the size a hair as the quality was getting really low and it's less than 30 now so I apologize for that.

    Hey Judy,
    I prefer the OP over the grunge! I like the saturation in the repost although I would consider filling in the sky some....mostly UL. I like the look this has very much!

    Nicely processed. I think I like the OP, but pane 9 also looks good. They all look good, actually. I'm distracted a bit by the light sky in ULC. Nice work.
