If you saw
yesterday's post you may have put the clues together to know that we went on a very special train ride with Thomas the Train. Twila loved it and I loved seeing her love it. The day was awesome and I did get to do some shooting of some pretty trains. The event was held at the Train Museum (which is outdoors) in Chattanooga. While hopping off the train I noticed this scene. I wondered if the bags were just for appearance (probably so) but they do still run a few trains from here so I wonder.
Kim Klassen's challenge for this week is to use the texture "yesteryear". Upon knowing this I instantly remembered this image. I tried something new this time and did two different edited looks and combined them to make a third finished image. It was kind of a Goldilocks moment - This image is too dark, this image is too bright, this image was juuust right.
The first one I made appeared a bit too heavy handed to me but I still like the textures I used. I thought the writing in the texture "Pour Vous" was too pretty and too perfect to not use.
The second one I created was too light I thought. Although I like it as a complete image I thought it lacked some punch. I did like the way the text was more subtle in the "Old World" texture. I thought I would stop here so erased the texture from the suitcase a bit and adjusted the levels a bit. In the end it still seemed a little unfinished.
So, I combined version 1 and 2 and got this image. The red seems to punch a little more.
The brights still needed some more brightness though so I added some brightness.

Excellent treatment -- you did such a great job with the picture!
Beautiful beautiful work - I love how you broke it down!
You always give your images such a unique touch. Amazing Texture Twist!
i think i need to experiment with textures, these changes are amazing. Love the end result
I love them all - no really I do.
this scene also reminds me a little of Paddington Bear when he first gets lost/found at Paddington station. Can just imagine him sitting next to the luggage quietly hoping that someone will collect him.
awesome edit! thanks for sharing all the steps.
Great photo, suits the theme so well. Thankyou for showing your steps and changes along the way. Love how you popped it in a little frame too.

The color caught my eye! Your use of the texture is outstanding. Great job.
You married the texture with your great photograph beautifully! Love it!
A treasure of a photo and your treatment of it is fantastic - love it!
Wonderful work! I love trains (but we missed Thomas over here last month, booo...), and you worked the texture so well to create a great mood. Also love the framing of the last photos.
The photo is amazing and the treatment with the textures adds even more - wonderful!
Terrific texture work!!
this is beautiful.
great texture work, are the names of the textures ones that you download or you have created yourself?
I bet Twila freaked out!
Beautiful beautiful work! I always keep an eye out for tutorials/explanations on how a certain texture image was formed... thank you! =)
Great work, I'm wondering what year we are living it is so surreal for this time:)
Loves to Twila
Wow! Fantastic use of texture and light to change the "era" of the train photo. Love it.
Love the textures!!
