Ok, these will be my last pier images for awhile, thank you for your indulgence. I processed the top image with Nik Silver Efex and On One Perfect Effects 3. I liked the textured border and the old time feel it gave the image. Some slight tweaks in Photoshop. For the original capture I chose to shoot this with a slow shutter speed for the water and I purposely over-exposed it slightly for a high key look.
For this image I created a blur effect using Topaz Lens Effect. The conversion was done in Topaz B&W Effects. I then added a border frame in On One Perfect Effects 3. All steps tweaked it in Photoshop. Cropped from the original.

I like the blurred one best but I do like the frame on the first one too.
Artie, thank you kindly

I like the blurred one. Both lead your eye into the image but the blurred one even more so.
Don, thank you very much. Hey I really loved your Cairnwood in the snow images

Of course Artie is right, the blurred one is my favorite also. But the whole series was wonderful. You have a very gifted photographic vision. Does my envy show?
Thank you Tommy, I appreciate the kind words. You are very kind.

Love both versions Denise. How do you like OnOne Perfect Effects as compared to Topaz? I’ve never tried it but I’m curious about it.
Thanks Edith, I love the Effects and Frames, lots of fun but completely different programs
denise
Beautiful set, light, tones and atmosphere …
Thank you Klaudia and welcome to my blog, I appreciate the kind words.

Great images, Denise. I really like them both but tip my hat to the first one. The framing on that one really does it for me.
Thank you Jimi, I appreciate it

Boy, I can’t decide which I like best. They are two completely different images in my mind and I really like both. Well done, Denise!
Mark, Thanks for the kind words. I’m here in Florida and wish you and Deb were going to the IPT!!
