Photo Art featuring a horizon

This week Bonnie, the host of Photo Art Friday at Pixel Dust Photo Art, suggested creating and posting a piece of photo art featuring a horizon.   I enhanced and saturated the colors of my photograph of a boardwalk at a salt marsh located in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  I added a postcard from the Graphic's Fairy and an opaque layer of texture.  Then I added a border from pixlr (another free photo editing software).  I chose this photo as my horizon subject because it looks like the boardwalk is never ending as it disappears into the horizon. 



Have a wonderful weekend!

  2. Hi Phyllis! What a clever girl you are making vintage style postcards and with French writing incorporated no less! I like the turquoise tones and the never-ending boardwalk!
    Have a great weekend! Sandra

  14. Phyllis....I really love this one. Reminds me of a few places around here. The leading line is fantastic, and I like the textured feel with text. Nicely done.
