54 days ago, I started the year-long course, Beyond Layers II, with Kim Klassen. I'm ashamed to say that I started out with great enthusiasm and then fizzled. However, I'm picking up now with the intention of staying the course and hopefully catching up some of the days I missed. The first part of the week, I photographed fences and made a collage:

Today, Kim provided a recipe for "toning down" the color of a fence image. My fences are already toned down because they are dry country images in tones of brown. But it was interesting to try out the recipe and then add some "blur" with the Orton technique.

i love the richness of the original.
The edit is really awesome! The original is good, but I think I prefer the muted tones using the recipe. Really wonderful!
Both versions are lovely. The second one has a stark, forbidding atmosphere.
First, so nice to see you are able to rejoin the group. Those 52 weeks are a long time...we're half there. I really like both of your images.
Love that stormy sky! I really like the edited picture too!! :)
I really like them both... I can see where both would make interesting edits for different scenes. =)
I love the edit, Evelyn, but I also love the stormy blue sky in the original A very different mood to both of them.
Both photos are beautiful! Love the look of your blog. :)
I also liked your original but the adaptation of the recipe works well.
