Day 56 {I heart photo shop}

I am tired.  Even though I was running errands this morning in an area of town that had some great shots to be had, I just couldn't be bothered.  So on the way home from picking up Reid and a friend from track practice I stuck the camera out the window and took a few shots.  

I liked this shot straight out of the camera, but editing it made it way more dramatic.  I used a simple veil that I created and a new texture from Shadow house creations (link is on my sidebar).

I heart photo shop!

What a beautiful photo! I wish I had more time to get really good at photoshop and making my pictures look like this!

Sticking the camera out the window + photoshop= very cool stuff :)

I concur.. this is very cool and dramatic. It makes the tree very eery. HOw about some time posting the image SOOC as well? For comparison!

I really can't wait until I get PS.

You must know how to edit fast! I checked out Shadow House Creations and it is awesome, but it's going to take me some time before I can create something as spectacular as you can. I love your pictures. How do you find the time!
