  Ronald,
It was instant love at first site when I saw your picture! It's soft, warm and comforting. I am curious as to which filter/filters you used.
Thanks for an inspiring start to my day.

  Thank you very much, Ray, Leanne, Karen, Joy, Vicki, David, Terri, Josselyne, Mary, Michelle, Judith, Deborah, Lori, Mary, Holly, Terry and Brenda. It is nice of you to comment.
Ray and Judith the effects were created with the buzz filter (simplifier #1) after a little manipulation of colors with Hue/Saturation.
Holly, "Hi." Nice to see you too. Where have your travels taken you?

  Your comments are much appreciated, Ashley, Bill, Wendy, Jon (you're right I erased the effects on the person), Crinne, Tessa, Salleh (see www.fo2pix.com for the buzz filter), Tarra, Diana, Mary, and Wanda (Of course, it's Roy Rogers' version of 'Happy Trails To You.').

  Something is surreal about this photo.The leaves and the trees look like they were painted since details were somewhat smoothen out. I wonder what kind of film/digital tweaks were made to make this photo look like it does?

  Nice effect, beautiful colours, well done. But: I don't like the title of this photo, because there is absolutely no impression of rain.

  Not a bad shot. Cograts on the POTD pick. I'm not a big fan all the photoshop effects - this looks like a paint by numbers thing I did in the 60's. Not a bad representation of fall colors. everybody else seems to like the effects - just not my cup of tea.

  Thank you for the feedback, Jenny, Euclid, Johan, and Sharon.
Johan, I'm afraid the buzz filter eliminated any appearance of falling rain. Only the wet road remains. The title is actually tonque-in-cheek. I can't sing, in fact, I find it hard to play the radio.
