Giant Pumpkins Invade Bucks County


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick  
Giant Pumpkins Invade Bucks County
Giant Pumpkins Invade Bucks County

----
On Rte 413 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
---
I was on my way to the Doylestown meeting up of the Scott Kelby Annual Photo Walk, but had to jump out when I saw this incredible display at a local garden center.
------
My shot didn't turn out the way I wanted, and there were a lot of distractions that had to be "disappeared." Most of the enhancements were done with Nik Color Efex 4 filters, plus a fair amount of cloning and Content Aware Fill. Now...I think it works! (See original in Discussion Area)
-------
Have to be in Philly by 9 am...will catch up later!

  LOL!!! What a great October image, Michelle! ... and what a big difference between the "before and after" shots! You should be a magician ... You made a whole building disappear into thin air! You also brought the colour and detail back to life! Fantastic capture and editing work! Glad these Giant Pumpkin Invaders caught your eye! ... They are definitely a sight worth seeing! :)

  Wow! I am impressed, Michelle! It's a fantastic seasonal capture and great MT entry, but I would not have had the patience (or expertise!) to make it so! Exceptional DD work, my friend!
