Description
For some reason I just really like this scene. I'm not sure why, but maybe it is the Mediterranean look of the patio. I could picture this on some Greek island, not in its central Florida location. I thought the color version was decent, but wanted to see what an antiquing effect would do for the image. When I got done with the postwork, I couldn't decide which I liked better, so I decided to post them both.
I'd like to dedicate today's image to diomedes66. Paul is an inspiration to many of us with his humor and wisdom, and I love his "old-timey" photos. This one (the bottom) is for you Paul. Have a great weekend everyone.

Grown calm and very coldly wise,
Life will have given me the Truth,
And taken in exchange---my youth."

wow! simply dreamy! wonderful scene and the first one is fresh and alive because of the playing light and shade of the leafs! with the textured effect you worked a special mood into the scene! both are beautiful! ;o)

I think I prefer the colour version, I always like the contrast of nice blue sky with white buildings - particularly if I'm in the Med somewhere 8) ... although Florida will do nicely!

Very nice subject. In effect, one cant't say wich one is better. B&W has always its charm but mediterranean blue sky is so beauty!
