Description

I took this photo in the cemetery near my home a couple of years ago. I recently came across it when going through my archives and decided to see what would happen if I applied some textures to it. I coudn't have done that a couple of years ago, since I've only just recently bought and made some textures and learned how to use them. I think the texture work has really improved the image.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.33, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D3000

Thank you very much, Pat, Marilyn and Jo Ann. Jo Ann, I'm afraid I don't remember which texture(s) I used on this image. The only textures I own are by FlyPaper and FrenchKiss, so it would have had to be one or more of those. Since I made that image, I've purchased another set of textures from FrenchKiss, and I'm now using those, too. #10057576

Hi, Jo Ann, I remember now that is was one or more of the FrenchKiss Craquelure series of textures. Hope this helps.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
