At The Shore . . . Texture Tuesday

Today I am linking up with Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday.  Been away for awhile but happy to be back there!  

This image I shot out in Newport, RI, a different view of the beach cottage I have shared before.  This one was taken much more close up at a different angle.  I processed this image in snap seed.  I love the "drama"  effect.  I also took down the saturation and like the effect of the light cooler tones.  

Here is the original image . . .

Congrats Marlene!

Blog Giveaway!!!

I just realized that I have reached my 200th post!! So I thought what better way to celebrate than to have a giveaway! :)

Since summer has unofficially begun I will be giving away the above photo of the Newport beach cottage. You may recognize from a texture tuesday post awhile back. The original image was altered to sepia and beautiful texture was added as well. I just love the vintage distressed look the texture gives to this image! I have to say that I think it is one of my favorite textured photos I have done so far!

The image size is 7 x 10.5 printed on 8.5 x 11 matte photo paper. So there will be a border for framing.

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment! That is it!! I will be picking the winner next Friday June 10th!

Good Luck!! :)

Texture Tuesday

This week we had to use Kim's Serendipity texture and I really love it! I chose this photo I took out in Newport of the beach cottage we stay at. I love the vintage feel it give to the image.
