~Ranch Still #1~
Uploaded: August 08, 2005 03:00:45
Image taken Saturday moring. Rob's spurs and work gloves resting on the hitching post in the morning sun.
Added aged film and reminiscing effects. Tweaked for the final result!
Several images in this series. Not sure if I'll do the series straight through or mix them in with other images.

Great romantic effect, Marcie, for workgloves and spurs -- congratulations on your POTD! #2044626I really liked this shot because of the effect that it had on me - I am really a country and western type of person that lives in an urban place. It is an known fact that you can take the person out of the country-but you can't take the country out of the person.
Congrats Marcie on your POTD !!! Great Image and Great Effect !!!
