Still Life with Garden Tools

After adjusting tonality and pumping up color (vibrance) in LR4, this

image went to ColorEfex4 to be treated with the Detail Extractor and

Midnight filters, then to CS5 for the artistic filters Watercolor and

Polarization. Then back to LR4 for a bit of a vignette.

I know there are those who abhor anytthing but "traditional"

photographic processes (whatever that is), and I was there once, too,

and apologize to Ansel and Edward. But I've been having fun

enhancing images with the tools available lately - I cover myself by

identifying these efforts (as if that were necessary) with a border.

Thanks for looking and for constructive critique.
