Weekend Reflections: No Limits

Keeping with the one little word challenge, I define- each day shall hold no limits!  I captured this photo at sunrise, looking out from my driveway.

Take your photos past your limits with texture!!
  1. I applied a soft Gaussian blur for a dreamy finish
  2. Next, I added the Dawn's Message Texture on the overlay blending mode and reduced the opacity to 82%
Join me in a photo challenge this weekend:
Joyful Jones: Be Joyful
Live Every Moment: Trees
Oh [snap}: Show off your shot
Newtown Area Photo: Weekend Reflections
Life...As I See It: One little word captured
Skywatch: Look to the Skies

  7. I have to control myself because I've visited your blog 3 times and now have purchased 3 sets of textures in addition to your free ones. ;-) If I could just take a photo as lovely....!

    Your textures are so gentle and lovely! Someday I'll take the time to learn Photoshop (not just Lightroom); you make it look so worth it!

  35. Hi there!
    I'm on a Sunday Creative tour and stopping in to see what you're expressing and to say hi. you used texture nicely with your image and I'm liking it a whole lot. the colors are dreamy soft and the message an honest bang. nicely done! have a beautiful weekend.
