    A step back in time. . .

    Oddly enough, caught this family at a wedding I was shooting.... really brought back a 40ish? type feel to me.....

    What do you think of this picture and the effect added?(not the border, just the picture itself)

    I think you need a border to define the top part of the photo.

    Hate the water mark.

    Sorry, the watermark is my logo and is put on most every picture I post online.

    Does it have to be so big and in the middle? - TF

    This has the feeling of "The Great Gatsby" written all over it.The watermark is a bit distracting though.
    - really brought back a 40ish? type feel..Yes.

    Sorry, after having a couple of my images stolen, I am kind of in the habit of at least making them work for them.....

    Here is one with a smaller logo...

    Chow, this is great. i really like the way the couple is dresssed and the moms dress blowing in the wind ads to the mood and atmosphere. Great post processing to give it the dreamy old look.
    I understand your concern with theft of the photos, but the large watermark was a hinderance to really enjoying this image.
    I'm not crazy about the tape style frame but I do like the large gray border minus the tape on the corners. Just my opinion.
    This is a fine shot.
