Room to Breathe

I've longed for an eternity

To return to this space

Of silence, of stillness

~Jason Westlake~

Week 2 of Be Still 52 is all about room to breathe. This means taking time to be still and just breathe as well as leaving room in our photos to breathe (white space).  

My exercise for giving myself room to breathe was this painting.

I wanted the airy, ethereal feel of a wash.  It's an exercise that gives me calm and serenity.

For Texture Tuesday and Be Still I took these photos.  I'm using my new crate I found at Behind the Picket Fence flea market Saturday.

I used Kim's "Dark Light" preset above. All editing was done in Lightroom.

Above I used Kim's "Serendipitous" preset.  It almost looks as if it has a texture applied.

This final photo was a preset experiment 

The preset was MoodyDark with slight vignette.  Visit Kim's site

Hope you all have a beautiful week.
