OK, I don't know what a whooshing filter is, but this picture is something else. The heart and the guy's posing just seem somewhat sad, and that's enhanced by the PP. This looks like something I'd see in a book of old B&W photos.
Very nostalgic and the attitude of the guy behind conveys the burden one might feel away from home. I travel a lot for work and while it is exciting and exhilarating at times, there are moments when just one more airport is just too much to bare. To me, this shot sums it all...
BUT you're travelling to a warm place, where lots of nice people await you - so I wish you all the fun possible and a Merry Christmas!
Cool shot Alicia. Is there room in that bag for me?? I'm getting itchy feet looking at this. I think I need a holiday. Might go out and take some photos instead. Hope you have a great time in Florida.
That "whooshing" filter is pretty cool stuff. I hope the weather warms up for you while you are here in Florida. At least it isn't snowing LOL. I look forward to seeing some shots from wherever you are for vacation.
