I have just returned from a quick trip to Virginia where I took this picture. It is lacking a subject.......I'll be interested to see what you come up with! Or perhaps you want to try a technique that would make this scene more interesting. Get your creative juices flowing and have some fun!  |

- Applied the Oil Paint filter (Filter>Stylize> . . .).
- Ran the file through Topaz ReStyle.
- Created the triptych effect with BlendKit.

Hi Helen I played with the composition. I cropped with the intention to make the wagon the subject. The wagon placement inside a 3x2 rectangle was determined by using a golden spiral. The image was converted to b&w and the wagon was sharpened. Some burning of the boards on the house and I added a little gray to the white sky. And finally a vignette making the wagon the brightest part of the image. Thanks for the image  |

Very nice PeteB ! your recomposition really does draw my eye to the wagon, and the vignette also directs the eye is a subtle way. |

Thought I'd bring the cart out of the barn Kits used - If I Had a Farm by Aquarius Design from aquariusscrapability blog and Pumpkins from Majestic Autumn Kit by Sky’s the Limit Scraps  |

Lillias.....Nice idea to bring out the wagon.......thinking it might look better without the tractor....what do you think? You have a nice triangle with the rooster, wagon and pumpkins.
