I'm not sure what I was trying to do but the original was so washed out i created 2 layers in raw then overlayed them and hey presto I quite like the result

I love the result! Also thought it looked 'old worldly' sepia type or is it split tone?
There are so many beautiful fishing villages in Cornwall & Devon. Have you ever been to Down along Up Along...forget what its proper name is! On the border of Devon...an amazing little place for pics. Built on a steep cliff, with no cars in the village....flower boxes in the windows...huge cobbles on the beach & a waterfall! Brixham Harbour was another favourite of mine....& riding on the steam train from Paignton Weir to Brixham was amazing!

Re: Hazy St Ives

Ah......THAT St Ives

Saw the heading in the forum and, as I come from the other one I had to have a look. Agree with Stephen, really does look like an old postcard. Lovely shot.

And Jocelyn - think you're talking about Up Along, Clovelly - http://www.northdevongazette.co.uk/n...scene/a39.aspx

And finally, just for comparison, this is a shot of my St Ives

Very much a postcard effect. Colouring just right. Just wants a couple of bathers on the beach dressed in 1920's swim suits

Aah yes, absolutely correct...it was Clovelly...just couldn't remember the name! Spring & Summer pics there great, but last time I went there it was extremely hazy, could hardly see the harbour! I also correct myself re the steam train ride....it went to Dartmouth, not Brixham! However I did prefer Brixham Harbour visit. The surrounds of Exeter & all the little villages around there are brilliant, with so many, many things that inspire one to create! My sister lives in a little village that abutts the moor & when I've visited, I've stayed 2 or 3 months (a number of times) as its my favourite part of the UK

Hi Mike,

Indeed looks like an old postcard.
I do like the toning effect as I think it matches with the hazy/overcast atmosphere.

Hi Mike,
It has all alredy been said, the result of your processing has produced an unusual and very pleasing image, Love the subdued mood and old effect of the image. A winner.
