    Mark, This is unique. I like the color tones and the rays of light. I might tone down the brightest area. I do wish that the road was just a tiny bit sharper but you did a great job w/ the Lens Effect filter.

    Hi Mark - I like this a lot. The tones and sense of motion are really nice. I agree with Denise about toning down some of the brighter spots. I wish it was square.

    Thanks for viewing and comments Denise. Appreciate it.

    I tried the downtone, but it wasn't the same for the surreal effect that I visioned. But like they say ... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Thanks Maureen for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

    The mat is easily changed to square, but I felt the action of the image lent itself to the curved mat. But ...
