Description

Christmas In Dixie Series #4
An old lantern sitting on a bunch of boxes. They had displays such as this and old wheels, plows, etc. set up through the park as if you were driving through old southern country! It is wonderfully comfortable there; a place you cam 'mosey' about! Cropped tightly, a small boost in sat., added flame effect and blurred, skewed a little to straighten, then Mr. Contrast was screaming at this image so I let him 'join in' on the fun! ☺

Have a great FRIDAY!!!☺

Outstanding image in every way, Dianna! The composition of leading lines and the position of the lantern are brilliant, and the whole image lifts off my screen. Add the great feel and you have a winner! Beautiful.
