Slight Orton Effect, color work, shadow relief, and a bit of grunge. Orton effect layer, the rest was all pen applied. Hope you like it..............

Jay this is wonderful...great detail, beautiful, soft muted colors...the diagonal line of the steps and wall drawing your eye up through the image...good use of your DOF...and all those minute little details..the grass growing up through the cracks in the grass, the grain in the wood, the washtub at the used as a flower pot...good stuff! If it were mine..I'd probably brighten it just a smidge..but that's a matter of taste and vision...and I might give a little more room beneath the closest side panel of the wooden steps at the bottom of the image..beautiful work!
Very nice! Love the colors and details. The diagonal lines are strong. Having just read that our next theme is geometrical, I thought this might fit the bill. What do you mean by "the rest was all pen applied?"
Nicely seen and composed, Jay, and great job on the processing to enhance the color and detail. Well done!
Jay, I love the scene and the processing work is top notch as usual. Details and colors look great. The crack in the cement is a nice touch.![]()
Hi Jay, nice job framing the image with equally pleasing effects. When your on location very often it's not as easy as it looks composing an image like this. Well Handled!
Wonderful work, Jay. I enjoy your vision, comp and details. Now, I am imagining an evening version with the solar lights aglow...
Whats not to like? Amazing detail. It looks like a fine art drawing.
Thanks everyone. Feedback is always welcome.
Hi Dave, I'm just catching up. Couldn't agree more about challenges when on location. It took about 20 frames before I settled on this one. Lens choice turned out to be deciding element, Too wide, to much stuff, too long then it was too compressed. 100mm did the trick with just enough of the scene, and not too much compression. Also a step to the left made a big difference. Thanks for kind words.
Sweeeeeet Jay!!!! Great comp and the PP'ing really makes it shine!
The composition and image design here is fine. There is no single strong vertical in the center of the frame..... The repeating vertical lines that get smaller as your eye travels through the image are a delight.
