5 for sure (imo)

5 in particular is absolutely gorgeous! (are those leaves or sensor dust in the sky however? It's hard to tell, so even if they aren't dust bunnies, perhaps clone them out anyway to avoid them being misinterpreted?)

Beautiful shots, as always!

Looks like an "antique" filter to me?

Thanks! Those specks were created from the PS action I applied to the photo. You do bring up a good point about them possibly being misinterpreted, though. Well, I got a week to figure out what to do and one other location to try to shoot.

It's actually a PS action and for the life of me I can't remember where I downloaded it from. And now that's going to drive me crazy all day at work.

it's a very cool process (and if you do find it, enquiring minds want to know....:D )

It's actually only the big spots which jumped out at me (I t hought they might be windblown leaves, and on the smallish laptop screen just couldn't tell.)

I love the picture - where do you FIND these places?!

The action can be downloaded from Adobe:

It takes a long time to run but it's worth the wait. The gal who created this action did a SUPER job.

No problem... #5 was my favorite... put #3 instead of #1 just to be contrary...

Michael Atkins

Really like 5 and 3 but think 5 is the strongest like everyone else! Beautiful shots!

richtersl

Thanks, Michael!

#3 is a great location and there's so much to photograph there, but unfortunately the place is wearing its "ugly suit" right now. Oh well!

UPDATE: figured it out.

I'm wanting to try out this action that Linda linked but I can't get it to run - I load it, it seems fine and then when I go to press the arrow to "play" it, I get a black circle/slash and can't do anything.

This is my first time using PS actions - what am I doing wrong?!

Thanks!

OK. I see you figured it out.

So what picture did you try it on?

Heeeheee... uploading as we speak... (I feel a bit of a copycat - it does lend itself to vintage structures! - but we'll see what y'all think!)
