#4 - Games

Who doesn't love a game of checkers...?  And sitting in a beautiful old rocker to do it would be just great!

  2. Like how the reds take the dominant role in this almost monotone image.

  3. A very inviting scene indeed. Blacking out the windows and adding the reflection was an excellent idea! Nicely done Linda.

    1. Thanks all for your kind comments on this photo.

      Rose, in reply to yours, I processed it using Topaz Adjust 5 - I think the Simplify filter - and a warming filter. Also used a texture layer but can't remember which one now. I belong to Kim Klassen's Cafe -
