I went for a walk downtown this morning with my camera in hand. I set out to capture some fun window art but instead I saw this grapevine pumpkin sitting in a corner on a stoop with ivy growing up the wall behind it. I also liked the two wrought iron railings and the additional vines that were in the scene. I used a texture overlay from Shadowhouse Creations and a touch of Nik Color Efex Glamour Glo to finish the look.

    Love the image design, all the texture, the effects, and that pumpkin!

    Artie, I am surprised that you like the texture, I know it’s not your thing. Thank you kindly :)

    Everything works very well together. Looks like you chose a texture that was made just for the image. Thumbs up!

    Dennis, It’s funny you should mention that about the texture. The minute I saw the small scene I knew I wanted to use that texture and that it would be a perfect compliment to the image. Thank you for the kind comment :) .

    Another nice piece of work, Denise! I like the sort of “rusty” look in the corners.

    Thanks Mary, I like the rusty corners too.

    Wow, how great to find such an unexpected and worthy photo subject on what might have been an ordinary walk through downtown. Your interpretation and touches are beautiful!

    Andrea, Thank you so much for the kind comment. I appreciate it. A lucky find indeed!
