Texture Thursday though it is Saturday

 I am taking Poets license on this photo as well but I see so many different textures! The wall behind him is bumpy, his hair looks smooth but yet each strand is distinct, his shirt has  detail of each loop of cotton... his eye has so much texture and detail too! The sucker in front of his face is smooth and blurred.. so yup I think there is some texture quality in this photo{but I may be a little biased too} 

 

Simplicities Photo Challenge-Two

Well, this might be a stretch but artistically speaking-the sky is the limit...

But my picuture is of

Photo Challenge and Updates

We were driving through the country side and

I wanted to practice still shots while moving.

So I  click click clicked along the Amish Country

and I think that I came out with a whole bunch of pretty good shots.

I had a lot of fun twisting and turning to get my photos

as we bumped and bobbed along the road.

I added texture to it through the assistance of photoshop and Kim Klassen.

{I mixed two of Kim Klassens Free textures for this one-I'm linked up at her site}
