 Convert from Camera RAW, adjusted Vibrance, Saturation and Contrast. Reduced noise a bit, then entered Photoshop.

Resized, adjusted Shadow/Highlight, placed the text, then created the postcard effect border with the drop shadow.

Save-For-Web.

I'm on vacation in the Monument Valley, and this place drops my jaw! Having Wifi in the RV Parks makes the competitions possible.

Well this is a fantastic postcard. I love what you did with the photo standing out on the border. The blue in the sky looks wonderful to back up the red rock. I'm bumping up...again. 9.

Yes it is Monument Valley and one of the best treatments I've seen in a while. Excellant font selection and placement. A perfectly saleable image for a post card. Well done.

I only comment on "WOW" pictures. This is Wow and I particularly love the "border". Great picture.
