Once Upon A Time

The 365 Toy Group is photographing the wonderful world of fairy tales this week and of course every good fairy tale starts with these well-known words. I was all set to post this as my macro shot, when I discovered a couple vintage applications in my photo-processing program that I just couldn't resist...

[Laur]

the texture and hues are magical in this picture you took a boring picture and made it really cool

[Laur]

Love the processing and composition!

@eudora Thanks Diane!

[Bev]

Great shot, Ann. The processing makes it look like an old photo of an antique pocket watch. I think your processing was a success! Nice vintage look.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@prttblues Thanks Bev! It probably is an antique pocket watch now. It was my grandfather's.

[summerfield]

well, your vintage processing would do you well this week for the toy theme! very nice processing.

[Sally Ings]

This is gorgeous. I would love to find a watch or clock that looks like this!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@summerfield Thanks Vikki- have a few ideas for this week's post. We'll see what happens!
@salza Thank you Sally! Step 1) Find a man who has a love for pocket watches! Step 2) Inherit one of the watches!
