Beasts of Burden

I was experimenting with the Rough Pastel filter in PS CC on this image I had taken last year in Ethiopia.

Best viewed in Lightbox.

C&C welcome.

I think this image might look nicer without the filter effect Ashish. IMO that filter might suit a landscape image better

I agree. No filter.

Here it is without the filter.

Hi Ashish,

I prefer the filter-less version too.

However, the one other thought I had regarding the composition applies to either version - I find the dark mass of trees on the right hand side a bit too 'heavy', therefore (if mine), I would crop about half the distance between the edge of the road surface and the edge of frame - this would remove all the vertical trunks of those trees, leaving just the foliage above ground.

HTH, Dave

Nice watercolor look.
