Skywatch Friday


I recently discovered picmonkey, do you use it?
There's so many editing tools available to enhance your photographs, I chose "gritty" to create the effect below.
I like the way the bare branches of the tree stand out against the clouds in the sky.



Looking over our garden wall to the village church in the distance.

    Beautiful picture, Maggie. I have heard of Picmonkey but I have never edited my photos...I think it's something I'd like to explore in the new year.

    XO,

    Bare branches against a wintry sky are so pretty. And even more so when they are in France!

    I'd like to give PicMonkey a try, but I think I'd need more than the 5 minutes at a time I get at the computer!....maybe it will be a treat for over the Christmas holidays.

    so beautiful! I use lightroom... it is fun to enhance the images, somehow I think editing brings the depth and richness to photos that the REAL experience of being there truly has.

    Glad you found PicMonkey - as I'm sure anyone who reads my blog knows, I've been using it since it became available - I LOVE IT - so easy and fun!

    Beautiful image Maggie - definitely a winter world closing in around us these late November days.

    Hope Ben continues to be well.
    Love and hugs - Mary
