Gaggle of Wagons

They tend to congregate around little kids. I remember having one as a kid and we had to get one for our little girls. These were gathered together at a pumpkin patch, to carry both kids and pumpkins. The original was just plain. When I took the picture I knew I would want to editContinue reading “Gaggle of Wagons”

The original wasn’t much different than the finished product. Less golden light and vibrance. I increased the clarity and slid the tintContinue reading “Fall in the Country”
