A Way Of Life

Posted by Marcah (Quincy, United States) on 16 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

A farmer traveling with his load picked up a horseshoe on the road, and nailed it fast to his barn door, that luck might down upon him pour; that every blessing known in life might crown his homestead
and his wife, and never any kind of harm descend upon his growing farm.

A spooky glow! I really like how the highlights are in the very center of this image, the texture emulating dust and scratches for that vintage feel. Well done!

That kind of treatment is so good, full of feelings, Past times through X-rays mixted with engraving (ah, your tones, Marc : just luv 'em !)
