As the Storm Passes


	As the Storm Passes 4/2 - Monthly Theme (Backyard) This farm and the one we lived on shared a cornfield together. We could see each others barns from the others back yard. A blend of 2 images; clouds as one, farm scene as another. Use of Topaz Adjust, Orton technique, noise reduction, and levels adjustment to achieve somewhat of a painted effect. Vicki L. Filippin

Excellent use of the effects to achieve this feel of impending storm, Vicki, and in a classic farm scene, where weather is always such an immediate concern.

Gorgeous image Vicki - love all that you've done. I really love how you can see through the barn and that tractor parked in there looking for shelter during the storms. Beautifully done! Happy Theme Day to you!
