I'm the other one. I use to say that the World looks so much better through a fog filter. I even said that while being young, so it has nothing to do with nostalgia. It do look better. :-)Ovehttp://www.ovepove.senoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-25721070767849760692011-06-11T07:12:27.864-07:002011-06-11T07:12:27.864-07:00Earl - I had not thought of the Tuscan theme, but ...Earl - I had not thought of the Tuscan theme, but I like that idea.

All a matter of taste, of course. <br /><br />Because I began photography in the digital age all this "engineering" of the photo on a computer seems perfectly normal to me.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.anita jessehttp://ajesse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-83564498374916575352011-06-10T15:30:03.575-07:002011-06-10T15:30:03.575-07:00Some images are well suited to texture overlay, an...Some images are well suited to texture overlay, and this is one. It adds interest and doesn't detract from the subject. I was always interested in experimenting with images, but in the darkroom it was time consuming and expensive.

I suppose it is human nature, right? I wonder if a predominance of those drawn to this more "dreamy" way of presenting photos is female. Your link certainly doesn't support any such theory. <br /><br />Thank you foranita jessehttp://ajesse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-68836948398264472502011-06-10T10:58:33.317-07:002011-06-10T10:58:33.317-07:00That is lovely!

As much as I'd like it to, my creative vision doesn't extend far enough into this type of artistic expression, though my wife, Shirley's certainly does. I envy the pair of you in being able to create images like this.<br /><br />You might like this guys images:<br />http://dougarmandphotography.wordpress.com/Rich Gift Of Linshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868005278180471114noreply@blogger.com
