 This cute little adobe church is a couple miles away from my home. This is an HDR image composed of three images. It was windy so the trees ended up being blurry, so I thought I'd go with that.

Processing:
Crop
Color Efex Pro Duplex
Color Efex Pro Tonal Contrast
Add birds with brushes I made from my bird images
Several texture layers at various settings -- cement, rust and cat fur. I really like the cat fur because it almost looks like brush strokes :-)
Edge was made by using the smudge tool to distort the edges, then add a drop shadow and inner shadow.

Wow! Funny thing is I have spent some time this afternoon trying out some birds on various backgrounds. I didn't come up with anything like this, though. Excellent work!

EXCELLENT. Really old feeling and I like it so much more than the original. I did something similar today - I'll post tomorrow. :~)

I liked it better before you told me you brushed in the birds. :D I like the processing on this. What a great thing to have down the road to photograph.
