time flies...texture tuesday already~


this week kim shared a beautiful texture she named "silence."
(i love silence, pure calm quiet. i have enough rattling around in my head all the time without adding extra sounds to it. lately my pet noise dislike is the rapid-fire tic-tic-ticking of my youngest son's texting. might as well be fingernails on a chalkboard....)
the day i took this photo was a wonderful calm day, no breeze, not even a seagull cry.
just a bit of splash as the slack tide slapped on the rocks.
the next day it was blowing 50 and pelting snow...
we live on a wondrous island.
i used two layers of silence, 100% soft light & 42% multiply.
 i also blurred the whole image with a gaussian blur at 27%.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving your sweet comment it made my afternoon!

    I agree silence truly is golden. I too have way to much rattling around in my head most days:)

    Love dock and water shot...your processing with “silence” worked beautifully. Beautiful and serene photograph.

    I love the composition- and all the textures and angles shapes that are going on within the image itself! Are those traps of some kind on the dock?

    I love silence, too. I don't like background music or the tv on just for company- my own thoughts (and the simultaneous conversations with my kids) keep my mind plenty busy!
