Continuing Charm from Washington

This is this week's entry for Barn Charm. It is HDR (High Dynamic Range) and it really shows the colors that were there! It was a wonderful summer morning and the sun was about to rise.

I've been in touch with Tricia from Barn Charm and she's been giving me a few pointers on textures. So, I managed this next one with the addition of a texture. Looks pretty cool, huh?

After playing with that a bit, I decided I could make my own textures. I began by taking pictures of a few OLD book covers. Then I fiddled with them a little and here is one that I thought worked.

As usual, click on over to Barn Charm to see the rest of the barns.
