Greg,

Like that! nice when you can turn a common object into an interesting shot. You are using some type of effect here...what is it?

Thank you, Richard. I used a combination of two filters I found in the Adobe Exchange program from Photoshop CC. It is called Adobe Paper Texture Pro. I really liked the angle but when I added the paper textures it seemed to really make the capture quite a bit more interesting. I used similar textures on a couple of the autumn pics I posted along with this one. #10890348

It is hard to say without seeing the original, but I am guessing that the background was a little less saturated and a bit less burned at the edge? That kind of faux framing (Ansel Adams, for one, used it a bit) can pull an eye into the image.

Nice work!
