San Juan Bautista Mission

This image was taken at the lovely Mission in San Juan Bautista of St. John the Baptist.  The light that day was very harsh but with working it over in layer adjustments and a texture layer I now really like the image I almost tossed out.   The texture I used was from Kim Klassen's collection called Worn and Weathered which I used two times.   one time at a linear burn 58% and then I duplicated the layer in a different position and set it at soft light 94%.   I really like how the texture fixed the horrible harsh sky. I did add a couple little brush squiggles in the upper right hand corner at the very end.  Enjoy ~

San Juan Mission

This lovely set of columns from the San Juan Mission was
right for the lens with the sun so bright and making the shadows interesting.   It was a bit over exposed I felt and lost much of its texture in the brick and surface so I did some processing of dry brush effect which I think enhanced it.   San Juan Batista, Gilroy California from a visit in December.
