Afternoon on the Beach

Wetland Life

Ripples

Calm and Tranquil... Tranquil and Appealing...

I've been experimenting lately with layers. The original was lovely, but it seemed too vivid. I wanted a more relaxed feel. To get this effect, all I did was add a layer with a sand pattern and mess with the opacity. It was very easy and I love the result. It's just what I was after to get the right mood.
