One Photo Focus – October

This month’s Image for One Photo Focus is a lovely harbor shot by Michelle Lunato, I played around with various different styles and effects mostly in Light Room, before combining a few, into my final favorite.

I wanted an aged, almost painted look, without using any oil painting or water colour effects.

Below is a few of the other version I came up with;
