Laid the tools down for a break.

Lovely Rust Mary Kim. Looks like my yard tools...despite my best intentions I always leave them out in the weather.

Thanks Jack. I tried the Orton Effect on this, but don't know if it really worked or not, but I liked it.

Seems like our tools are always left outside till we are done using them or the season is over. Not a good thing to do. The shovel took it's dings from shoveling to much rock over the years.

Hi Mary Kim......Nice shot The Orton is well done ..YOu got the benefit of it, but it doesn't have Orton written all over it. If you hadn't told me I wouldn't have know it..... azzaro

Thanks Azzaro I tried to keep the effect to a minimum since sometimes it can be alittle to much. If you didn't notice it then it was successful

I have no clue what Orton is, but I know a beautiful shot when I see it. I really like the texture, atmosphere and colors on your tools!

Thank you for your kind comments

The Orton treatment is actually really easy to do. This link gives you an example of how to do it --- http://pcin.net/update/2006/11/01/the-orton-effect-digital-photography-tip-of-the-week/ You will find that some photos work and others don't. My first Orton try was with a corn field ready for harvest...really didn't work all that well, but I'm still learning.
