This is very nice! It feels so dreamy!

Thanks Val. Yes, dreamy is the word to describe it.

Lovely interpretation--the pencil sketch effect is perfect.

Suzanne, great job! Wonderful technique!

[swalkr]

Thank you everyone. I took this in late 2003 on our return trip form Alaska. Wish I could remember exactly where it was.

Looks like Yaquina Head Lighthouse in Newport.

Very nice sketch effect, Suzanne!

That is just gorgeous, Suzanne!

Suzanne i agree this is a great sketch you did an awesome job on it.

Suzanne, Good job on your image, I really like that technique. Sounds to me that you need to retace your route and go find where it is , in other words another vacation !

Suzanne, it is fabulous. Lighthouses are a great subject to photograph.

Thank you, Mary Lou, Tony, Judy, Chuck, Sepiana, Frank and Bobby, and OMG a compliment from RICK, the PET guru! This has all started my day out on the right foot.

Just beautiful. Great sketch details & B&W contrast. Which sketch technique did you use?
Thanks,

Thank you Cristell. I used this (http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28420&highlight=basic+filter+sketch) one, by Timteamouse from 2007.

Suzanne, thanks so much. I do have that one but it has been awhile that I used it & have it printed somewhere. I just reprinted it to keep it handy. There is just not enough time in the day for all these tuts.
Thanks again for the link.

Your lighthouse really looks great, Suzanne.
I have that one, too, and have used it quite a few times. I know what you mean, Christell, about too many tutorials for the time you have!
