Water Painting

Another piece showing the beauty to be found from the streets of Stratford-Upon-Avon. Believe it or not, this is the view from the back doors of the coffee shop I work in. Literally a few feet back from the bottom of this picture are a few sets of chairs and tables and a strong smell of espresso! Again, this photo was hardly touched with Photoshop other than the frame (which took a disproportionately long time!), just a filtered lens and a dozy sunshine day. I couldn't belive how much this shot came out looking like a painting, which is why I took so much time making a suitable frame to enhance the effect. Perhaps one day I'll come back here with a couple of brushes and see if I can do it properly!

I dedicate this piece to Yasmin, who kept me in very sweet company as I worked on this.
