One thing that I like about autumn is that I am out and about during the ‘golden hour’ which is so good for photos. On Saturday we took a walk with cameras around the harbour and caught wonderful reflections and soft warm light on the walls and great shadow and silhouettes.
Here are a sample that I tweaked in PSE
I added a brush stroke filter – brushed edges and cropped for the panoramic dimensions.
I changed the levels and hue slightly to emphasise the sunlight and shadows
In both of these I placed the camera close to the plants growing on the wall and angled so that the sky was behind them. I added Bonnie’s dappled dawn texture in soft light.
My sister is sitting on the steps taking photos. I used the poster edge filter (my new favourite). I love the colours in this one.
All together I enjoyed tweaking the photos with subtle effects, sometimes less is more.
I’m linking up with Friday Photo Art – loving the range of images that people are sharing.

Yes, I like the subtle effects too - didn't even notice them, until you explained what you'd done to enhance your photos. I like this selection - especially the sun-on-the-water shot and the interesting plants on the wall.
I really love the picture of your sister. Thanks for the steer to Friday Photo Art.
Lovely, lovely, lovely! Like Miriam, I particularly like the shot of your sister, but they're all fab :)
all these photos are so awesome!
They are great all of them - good work :)
So many interesting angles, compositions and textures. I love poster edges too! Thanks for sharing with Photo Art Friday.
That picture of your sister is definately my favourite!

I love your artistic results!
Beautiful works, especially I like the last one.
Regards and best wishes
How brilliant are these ... that last one of your sister is stunning. I really must learn how to do this!
Wonderful group of photo's. My favorite are the ones with the plants. Love the subtleness of the textures you added. - It is fun and interesting to see what everyone comes up with. Even though I'm a "newbie" to photography and don't know much about texturing/layering I'm enjoying this a lot.
