This pretty blue spruce is in our neighbor's yard. It's very symmetrical, but I made it more so by doing a mirror montage. Then I lost track of the various filters I applied in Topaz. This morning I noticed the triangle fabric and decided it would make a good background.

This is an old time bench at our local train station. Just wonder the stories it could tell of all the passengers through the years. It was looking rather myterious in the Golden Light. Liked the way the light was playing on the bench and the long shadow the bench threw to the wall. The train station has been around since 1907 -- wonder how many thousands of folks have sat on this bench either going to or from Kingman??

Antique Plate enhanced the natural warm tones of the long afternoon shadows. The reflection was a bonus. Wishing you joy in your experiments with light and shadow throughout the coming weeks.

Ricky says:

I had dinner with a group of friends after dinner and while walking home the street lights provided a shadowing opportunity. I ended up blending two images and then added a blurred image of the carpet in the hotel room.

The original image is an entryway next to a brick driveway. That image was blended with itself, but rotated and the blend was 50/50. I then used a filter in Prisma to change the color and final effect.
