not sure how I missed this . . really nice and I agree with Deb. It would make a very fine card indeed.

I very much like it. It's got an interesting vibe to it. There's a nice almost rigid structure to the display of items, but one senses a completely chaotic scene just to the left.

I can see this as a very posh notecard. The kind rich people send to each other just to make an impression. Beautifully done!

This is a lovely view! I love the touch of blue-ish sky in the mainly sepia tones.

I'm with you on the filters...the wonderful images I've seen here, mainly in the side challenges where folks really share their techniques, have been responsible for my purchase of all of the pricey plugins you mentioned an more :-) And Judy is right, I learned about Virtual Photographer thanks to her, it is wonderful and free free free!

Love this. The composition is superb. I love the way the diagonal leads to the man sitting with his back to us, and from there attention goes to the distant group. It was only after my eye finished roving that I even noticed the foreground pair. The colours and textures are really great too.
