I have resurrected this old thread as I have been experimenting more with post processing lately including using textures overlaid on images to add some additional character and interest to shots. It is fun and allows some interesting effects that takes otherwise ordinary photos into a new direction. And it allows me to use photos that I otherwise might be inclined to reject.

Photo. contributions by others welcome.

And in this one I wanted to accentuate the vertical nature of the trees by applying motion effect vertically.
