Looking out from the Palm House at Kew Gardens down the avenue of trees. All the windows were misted up, so were my specs and my camera for about 5 minutes due to the heat and constant spraying of water that goes on. B/w layer over the colour then taken down a touch to give it a faded look.
Thanks for visiting.

Thanks for the explanation of the processing, I like it. Gives a weathered, grungy feel.
Interesting, bold composition, inside and outside given equal importance. Those blurred figures are wonderful, I assume you wiped a patch of window clean? I don't think I'd dare to take my camera in there.
I'm unsure as to how to tag a lot of my pictures, but I think PJ applies - it's a record of the day's experience and observations after all, isn't it.

This is really well crafted. The use of the olde style frame also adds to the effect. Anything with more vibrance and saturation just wouldn't have worked. I also think that anything other than two figures there would have destroyed it. Sheer brilliance mate ! ...Peter
Love the composition, Chris, while the faded look - far too ancient-looking to be cast as grunge - is superb.
The scene could perhaps be interpreted differently: two old codgers have popped out of the golf club locker-room for a swift puff on their pipes before heading for the bar.
(I haven't been in a golf-club locker room since 1967, but I did smoke a pipe in them days and I have been an old codger since I entered my teens . . .)
What do I mean? Atmosphere joins composition and subject-matter and presentation to form the madeleine, dipped in the tisane of memory . . .
Excellent work.
