On a day when many people are trying to get over the effects of bringing in the new year, my husband I took a drive down to Alley Springs, new Eminence, MO. The day was beautiful, sunny and not too cold. I was trying out a lens I bought from a student and wanted new material to try out in Color Efex Pro 4, a nice little Christmas present.

I like the way they turned out. I’m still adjusting my look with these pictures. I think I’m a little too enamored with the detail extractor and other fun filters on CE4, but it’s fun playing around with them.
