great way to employ leading lines - has a painterly feel to it, in the overall color palette

I love the way my eye is led through this beautiful 'painting' by the winding rivulets - to the collapsing sand bank, to the next bend and on to the buildings and trees.

They have great personality. In their optimism there are also hints of nostalgia, loneliness and stoicism.

I processed with Nik Analog Efex Pro 2, which has far more options/settings than I previously realized. There has been something liberating for me about this side challenge that has led me to experiment with alternative ways of processing my entries and in the course of doing that I've discovered several new settings :-)

Beautiful processing, Interestingly enough there seems to still be some life left for these leftovers

Thanks, and I'd have love to have seen your witty comment. I decided on further reflection that my initial title "Thanksgiving leftover" was just too obscure. But these HAVE been left (over) in this spot for at least two summers!
