Somewhere in the middle of New Mexico between Mountainaire and Portalis is an old church. The steeple and window were all removed, but all of the graffiti on the walls inside was of a religious nature. Here's two versions. About a year ago I downloaded a free program called Silver projects and this was the first I have used it.

I like the effect you used and the added branches framing the image.

The B&W is very fitting. The branches adds to the aging effect. Well done. Mahalo for sharing.

Different strokes... I do not like the branches. The B&W emphasizes the stark nature of the church against the "empty" landscape. I feel that the branches are a distraction and un-necessary.

IMOHO if look at background branches are out of place. Best is barren.

The B&W works for me

I like the color, buckwheat! Sure would be neat to see the graffiti that's on the walls inside!
