More playing [practicing] with textures. The process for this edit was based on Kim Klassen's Adding Texture (staycation) Elements Version tutorial. I still have a lot to learn but I'm happy with how this turned out.
You're never too old for the magic of Christmas.

Cute subject but Santa is not allowed to rest on Christmas! I like the muted tones and composition. Good job!

I could really use some lessons.... I like how you altered your pic. I have very basic control in an old version of paint shop pro... so my photos are more what you see is what my shaky hands snapped! Have a Happy New Year, and I like your idea of a years goal in photos too.... so send me some discipline with those lessons, please!
