Great shot, Murry. I like the photo it's self - well composed with nice natural colour. Also good ps work - pleasant - not overwhelming. #134268Colette M. Metcalf July 06, 2003
Looks like a great place to be!!! Wonderful shot, Murry! #134289Murry Grigsby July 06, 2003
Thanks, Judy, Bill, Leanne and Colette. This is actually the back half of a Bed & Breakfast. Fredericksburg has a strong Germany heritage with a lot of wonderful old buidlings but Main street (US290) is a zoo of tourists on weekends and holidays. #134300Carolyn M. Fletcher July 06, 2003

What is a simplifier filter? I think I WANT one - I love the effect! (I have Photoshop 6 - is it just to be found in 7?) At any rate, this is lovely, Murry. Your subject, composition, and digital effects all work perfectly together. Nicely done... #134341Charlene Bayerle July 06, 2003
