As the Storm Passes

4/2 - Monthly Theme (Backyard)
This farm and the one we lived on shared a cornfield together. We could see each others barns from the others back yard.
A blend of 2 images; clouds as one, farm scene as another. Use of Topaz Adjust, Orton technique, noise reduction, and levels adjustment to achieve somewhat of a painted effect.
