Christchurch Priory, Dorset, England

Would be nice if I could draw freehand like this, but it's a colour shot converted to a pencil sketch with Picasa.

Thank you for putting my robin diptych on PP! Those were the last shots I took on our outing to Christchurch when I saw the robin fly on to the high wall in the car park. And thank you for all your support. I prefer to comment on your photos rather than comment on your comments on my photos, unless I have something specific to say. But I always read and appreciate everything you write. Constructive observations always welcome, please!
Nice effect Hazel, it looks good. I have a talented daughter who can draw freehand like this, unfort she doesn't get it from me lol

Thanks very much for your views and comments. It certainly is a lovely Priory but I just have to make a disclaimer and say that all the cleverness in the processing totally lies with Picasa. It's the easiest, most effective bit of processing I've ever found on any software. But I shall surely use it again as I really like the effect!

@quietpurplehaze I also often use it. In my last pic. I retouch the power pillars and power windmills on the skyline as I did n`t like them at all.

It always takes me a time to get to grips with some new processing but when I do, I like it very much!
