Aha! Upped contrast AND darkened... top tip!
This is nice. I am reminded in your about of a book I saw once but never bought. ?boring postcards?, full of faded photos of ?exciting new shopping centres? in the u.k. and modernist buildings from the seventies. Seemed the genuine article. Not sure it wasnt, who cares, would make a good series. But this actually a charm.
Good ta see Brad.

Hi Bradley, there doesn't always need to be a significance to a shot. Creating the vintage postcard feel somehow works; I'd date it mid 70's... The vignetting around the edges is a bit heavy, I think, but it is a creative postprocessing job. Nicely done!
Cheers,
Hugo

Yes, the finish of this really does duplicate vintage post card, as well as the coloring. Good job Brad.

Thank you, Gayle. I've never done the "Holga" thing, but I see your point, with the vignetting. Yes, I got your hilarious E!

Always a hoot to get a comment from you, Hugo! I agree that the vignetting is quite dark, I thought that it added to the over-saturation effect that I was looking for. Thank you so much, for your kind words, and for taking note!

Paola...I don't think your numbers go very high! You must work very hard to maintain...
And yes, Florida is an awesome place to visit, as long as it isn't hurricane season! Thanks for your nice comment!

Well your technique did achieve that postcard quality Brad. The saturation and deep colours of the sky and water offer a wonderful contrast to the pale beige of the sand. I love the rough texture of the water that gives it that 'reach out and touch it' feel.

i think you've got an effect that makes this shot a bit "out of this world". The colors looks great, yes - cartoony. Congrats.

Brad, I love the feel of this one, like you said, it?s got that vintage type Polaroid sort of over saturation to it. I liked how you burned in the edges also, very nice touch, adds dimension to the shot. it?s timeless? great shot!
