Mission Benches
Lorraine Creagh nominated this image for the Pay it Forward group.Here’s what she said about this image:
- I love the feeling that I get with the image. Loneliness, peace and age. I wonder how many people have sat on those benches in contemplation. The colouring and aged treatment that Kimberly has given it works so well for this shot
Thank you Lorraine, you are a sweet friend!

I can’t believe I haven’t commented on this one – I’ve seen it around the bubble a bit and everytime I see it I stop for a while – it really catches my attention. Loved the one I saw in the buyers booth, even though the colour was different – still a terrific photograph. I think the HDR really kicks it up to another level. Terrific perspective but what I like the most is the texture and light. Awesome work, Kimberly. A real inspiration.
Kimberly Palmer in reply to Naomi Frost’s comment, 5 months ago
Hi Naomi..thank you so much, for such a lovely comment.
RB is trying to solve the color issue on this one…. I’m wondering if it’s because it IS an HDR image….
Thank you again, your comment has made my day!
