What did you do to this picture? A closer look at the background makes it look as though you took this wrought iron and set it into a sepia painting. I am aassuming that the whole frame is authentic and pp'd to get this look, but I am not entirely sure.....the grass and the fence do not look real at all on closer examination......soooo, what did you do? It is a very cool looking shot and I love it, please don't misunderstand my question

Okay Miss Windrider. Are you changing your avatar on a daily basis now or am i imagining it. The reason I ask is because I'm taking some pain medication for my back & I may be hallucinating.

I really like this shot. Cemeteries are a great place for photos.

Very, very interesting ironwork and as always, excellent PP. I'm intrigued by your rotating avatars!

Ok guys, heres what I did for the most part. Cropped down the image, converted to black and white with a slight orange tone using Silver Efex. Then i went to Topaz Adjust and played with Simplify until I liked the end result. Added a vignette and done.
Thank you for your compliments.
Now I guess I better get to work on my new Avatar huh! lol

Nice touch! I like playing with both of those Topaz plugins and the effect you used on this shot came out great.
