We should be on a plane from to Norway, way had to change the trip to another airline, another time, and another day.  Our outgoing flight from Atlanta was delayed beyond making the connections.  By making these changes, we we arrive in Norway earlier than what dis-United offered originally, noting that the weather caused the delay.  So what  do you do when you find some extra time???

The three pictures below are of Starr Mill, between Fayetteville and Senoia, GA.   I was working with the 'Vibrance" adjustments, which can be done in two different ways of which I am aware.

The first picture has not been 'shopped," for comparison.  Take time to compare...  Keep particular attention the the branches in the upper forefront.  Remember, you can click once on the photos to enlarge them.

The second picture was adjusted utilizing the Vibrance Slider, that is in the adustment tools.  The branches seem to 'pop' and and are brighter.

The third picture was done differently.  Utilizing the Layers tools. I added, what is called and Overlay layer.  From the Filter tools, I added a High Pass filter, which seems to make the same branches pops a little more.

Althought there is a difference, both adjustment are an improvement on the original.

We are leaving this evening to go to Norway.    When thinking about some of the pictures that I want to get while there, I reminded myself of something that I shares last winter, when things were blah!

This picture is one of the results of that thought.

What is it?

Where is it?

We were having lunch at McQuire's in Senoia, Georgia ,not to be identified with McQuire's in Destin, Florida, which, by the way, has the ceiling covered with hanging dollar bills.  Note to 'you know who," the taxes were paid on the income...

Moving on... Linda and were sitting there awaiting for our food to arrive and I looked up at the ceiling and this is what I saw directly above my head  The decor of the restaurant was nice, but this ceiling tile stood out for me. 

Admittedly, I did change the color from bronze to black.  To reiterate, Be sure to look around before finishing taking the pictures that you intended to take.  There may be more.
