Before and After

This photo is from a Florida vacation to Eden State Gardens. The beautiful old house is one that you would imagine being in the south, surrounded by old trees draped in long streams of moss. From the picture you can't tell it was also swarming with mosquitoes and nats.


I decided to play a bit with this photo with my newly purchased Nik Efex program. I added several different filters to come up with this version.

The sunlight filter gives the image a nice glow and the polorization filter pumps up the darks, adds a hit of lavender randomly and decorates the edges. I liked the dreamy quality that it created.
