**The Great State Fair of Texas**

As we were leaving the Fair I turned around and noticed this photo-op - During the drive home I was contemplating what I could do digitally to this image..... This is the result. I started with the typical PS adjustments after RAW processing. A little Topaz HDR followed by the NIK Solarization filter and then some saturation with PS and NIK Color Efex.

  Wow what a transformation Jeff! The fair is one of Texas' "wonders" of the state and your presentation does it justice!

If you happened by the Old Mill Inn on a week-end @ the fair, you probable saw my daughter working in the beer garden! :-)
