Another shot taken inside the ancient dining room in Villa Monastero.
Notice my initials at the head of the table  :D  .

Villa Monastero is a villa located in Varenna in the Province of Lecco
and located on the shores of Lake Como. 
The villa owns a botanical garden, a house museum 
and a convention center.

Shot in camera:
Canon EOS 5D
Canon EF 17 - 40 mm f/4.0 L USM
ISO 50 - 1.30s - f/11 - 19 mm  
Tripod

This time the second shot for the Orton effect 
was obtained in Photoshop. 
Here the link on the article how to get the Orton effect in Photoshop.
I hope not to make a mistake by publishing it:

Well, well, well.   To arrange many years in the past to have your signature engraved on this masterpiece of a table is quite something Mary.  LOL.  On another note, your use of the Orton effect works so well.  So rich in history and beauty with your treatment a lovely compliment to the makers.

Thanks for the link Mary.  (got it with Darwin Wiggett)
Make your life spectacular!

Beautiful perspective, Mary, and the Orton effect does justice to the ancient dining room. Excellent.

A fine rendition with the Orton effect-gives it a nostalgic look. Glad to see your signature there! ;) !

Long ago I posted a tutorial on Orton here:
viewtopic.php?f=39&t=169901 It's under "Announcements"/Techniques at the top right of P&DA page, along with several other tutorials by various people.
I suspect PS has it down to a science. For me, I can't read it as it's not in English. :).

Great perspective on this beautiful table, Mary - and why shouldn't you have your initials inscribed at the head of the table!  :D   Bravo!
