Howard's Creek Farm

On a road trip last week and stopped by the side of the road to grab a few shots of this old house. It was a beautiful, sunny day but I knew I wanted to do something "creative" to this image to add interest.

I processed the original image in Nik Software's Color Efex Pro - Infrared preset and then added two different texture layers from ShadowHouse Creations to give it an old-time look.

Thanks for taking a look. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Here is the original image for comparison. Quite a difference; I'm pleased with the transformation.
