So lovely image and detail of that house. Like the high key effect, voting.

Oh my, this is very beautiful.
A place that beckons me to spend
many hours wandering around and
reflecting life's mysteries. Not to mention,
that heavenly meal that follows! This is
high quality work, Carol.

Thank you so much Barb, Char and Laine. Lunch everyone???lol

Char, I kept changing my mind while working on it...hope I've remembered most of the steps.
Basically, I started steps for a black & white high-key sketch, (changed my mind) so
put the original colour version (lots of contrast & slightly desaturated colour) below
the top b/w layer. Reduced opacity of top layer revealing a little colour.
Flattened, added a grey mask, then painted areas with the dodge and burn tools...sharpened.

A beautiful effect, Carol. This place would give you a good feeling just making your way to the door.
