Very good composition and once again I enjoy the mood. Dumb question but I'm wondering how you got the sky to look like this, I really like it. Nicely frmaed. TFS and I'm for sure praying for you people there.

Nothing can beat old film LOL. Btw good result from scan. I like giving vignet effect sometime. And one way I find really smooth is by selecting the area you want to be brighter with lasso tool. By setting feather to 250 for picture more than 3000pixel, inverse the selecting area. Darken it to give vignet effect by curve. Usually the result is really smooth.

Btw hope your daughter is doing OK and made it home safely.

Hi Linda,
I love this older picture. The sepia color is very nice and the reflections of the trees and boat dock on the water look wonderful. I wish you well with the hurricane.

Kevin

Hi Linda,
I like using the term 'last century' also. I too was born in '59 and it seems like what I used to imaging the 19th century was like. But we still look much better than 49er's did in 1959 that's for sure.
I really liked this shot because of the composition which is the guage I use to click on an image, the sepia is effective.
I hope your daughter gets home safely.
I also want to say, you've been an inspiration her on the site these day. Terrific positive attitude!
Be well,
Jim (Points off)

Hi Linda,
A fine peaceful image, like the sepia tone and it breaths some a certain old mood. Like the low contrast and fien frame.
Big hug from Zürich and I'm NOT coming home yet :-)

Hi Linda,
"Another film shot from last century (I love saying that!)" You make me smile! Imagine I was born in the first part of last century. (However, I am not sure that I love saying that!) LOL!
This is very moody scene very suitable in sepia tones. Good work again from your old files!
My compliments! Annie

Hi Linda,
And I love reading it - another film shot from last century - makes me giggling. We have a funny similar phrase for the same meaning - don't know how to translate them to English :)

Love the mood of the shot, and it surely relates to a kind of emotion you have had. The composition worked well.

Regards,
Ramdan.
PS: She'll be fine, I am praying for.

A good quality scan Linda and the conversion to sepia well done. All it is missing for the really old look is the addition of some scratches and creases. Nicely done,
David
