This is a combination of 2 of my favorite photos. The original photo was taken of the mill, 3 images -1, 0 +1 exposures, and processed in Photomatix using the Grunge settings with high smoothing – then I noticed that it was the same general coloring of another image that I processed of a fence and hydrangeas on the lake road, so just for fun I put both photos in PS4 and made sure they were the same size, then clone stamped the hydrangea fence into the Mill photo. THEN I took it to Picnik where I bumped up the colors on the hydrangeas – Just for fun…..
The original photos were all taken with my Canon Rebel XTi in 2 neighboring counties, Habersham and Rabun Georgia.
