This is a shot of the Seattle skyline taken from a ferry in Puget Sound.

Seattle is about 30 miles from where I live!

Great job Neve. It looks like a really high end watercolor.

Really lovely, Neve! And I love that Thailand image you posted. Can't wait to play with that.
I also went with a watercolor look. I converted the image to a duotone, ran my Cobblestone technique (still available on Danny's DPR ver07 collection). I then ran Impressionist "Marker:Textured Sepia Tonal" on a dupe layer, set to Lighten. I then flattened that, duped and set new layer to multiply. I then overlayed it on a piece of "old" paper.
