I had fun "creating a mood" with this image. I came across the quote yesterday, and after reading it I remembered I had several photos of garden benches. I wanted to create an aged look to the photo, so I chose this grungy polaroid texture I had. (I don't remember where I got this, but I did a search at Flickr Creative Commons and found a bunch of them. For anyone interested, click HERE.) I also had a Brenda Starr "sunset" texture I had never used before, so I experimented and was thrilled to find that it worked...my photo taken in broad daylight now looked like a gorgeous sunset image! Brenda's free textures can also be found at Flickr. This is my submission for The Creative Exchange - click on the button below to visit!
