In itself, I like the cloud image, since it nicely captured those clouds touched by the light, which gives a nice mood. As I'm not a huge sepia fan, I'm a bit in doubt on the PP, but that might be only me.

I stumbled across the church, wanted to respond, but to be honest didn't know what to say. I didn't know what it was you wanted to express with this picture (is it an old one? a new one made old in pp?), so I didn't know what to comment on. With the additions, I take it you're trying to add some sepia coloring to recent photographs, based on an old image . Could you please elaborate a bit on what your trying to show here, so people know what to comment on?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not really trying to show anything or posting for any particular purpose, except I Like sepia and each of the places (or at least all except the 1st), had a 19 Cent. feel to them.
The second was shot with a sepia "filter" setting on the camera itself. The rest were digitally added in processing.
The last - Churchyard - had the qualtiy of an old photo as taken because it was unintentionally under-exposed - so I went with that feel, lightened it a bit more and added the sepia.
Of course, you can't really do sepia well unless you tone it chemically, as it was done historically. Anything else is a digital filter, approximation.
thanks again
