You have beaches like this in Whales... er, Wales? It's gorgeous!! And the image is too FABulous!! How'd you do that? I realize it's a blend but ... how did you get the edges like that without compromising the middle? I love your pp work... it's always such a challenge to figure them out.

@amy: yo cutes--this is one of 5 beaches in Barry--all within walking distance of my place--ooooz a lucky billy??
the edges are actually a border design from photofiltre software- a program I've been using for quite a while
