Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain...

Fire and Rain - James Taylor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbD7lfrsY2s

I didn't know what possessed me to stick three oak leaves in this piece of rotting landscape timber and shoot it in the rain and turn around a day later and shoot it in the sunshine. On the way home yesterday, while listening to one of my favorite oldie stations - I heard this song and I understood what possessed me in the first place.

This is a composite: In On1, I added a light leak to the first photo for a fire effect and, I added drizzling rain to the second to add to the rain drops on the leaves. I created the single image in InDesign with both photos and added the black outlines. Last, I added the border in On1.

Not great by any means, but these are the things we do on sloppy, rainy days. I think I'll upload the individual photos and effects tomorrow or the next day.
Love the song and your inspiration! Fabulous images and effects.
