Gerry, I almost expect to see cattle coming over the hill in the distance. Thanks for the great pic!

Debi,

Thank you for the compliments.   I knew this one needed a little bit of sepia to give it the feeling that I wanted.  :)

Wanda,

You are welcome.  I did take a photo of cattle on a hill that same day.  It came with a terric background (mountain view).   You will know which photo I am talking about when I post that one in the near future.  :)

Gerry - See what I told you?  The Montana sasquatch in the other photo has already left the scene and is not above.  He is not a sepia kind of sasquatch since he doesn't like to feel older than he is.

Morning Cynthia,

It is sepia with a twist.  The twist is that after tinted the whole photo sepia, I went back and I also tinted the sky a little orangy brown to add a little sense of nostalgia and to clearly demark the sky from the hills.  I am glad you loved the vintage look I was going for.   You should check the sister post for a fun guessing game based on this photo but with an interesting addition.

Thanks so much for the explanation Gerry, I can see the sky is different, I just didn't know how you did that, very cool. To me those sepia tones look so relaxing, ahhhh....
