Winter Wonderland

     Bonnie (Pixel Dust Photo Art / Friday) this week asks "next week's 'challenge' will be to post a piece of photo art from your archives that never got the spotlight and attention it deserved" -- therefore... Since I am out-of-town, prepared and saved this as a draft; will do a link and post.

You have created a moody, mysterious winter night, Karen. Thank you for showing us the layers that reveal the process you used. I like how much of the texture you removed. Sometimes I feel folks do not remove enough to do justice to their photograph. Thanks for sharing your work with Photo Art Friday!

Wow, what a transformation. I love the resulting moody wintry scene.

Really like that mysterious and wintery look that you have created! So lovely Karen! Hope your thanksgiving was really wonderful. Holidays can be a bit difficult having lost someone important to you this past year. Blessings to you! Jeanne

thank you... your texture, Bonnie, was a challenge because it is so bold and could have been overwhelming; i very much like how it complimented the background - not repeating - but, being different than the trees in the foreground. very cool. in my opinion, a good marriage of texture. of course, the other blue, just enhanced coloring. i always appreciate the feedback. karen

Hello Karen,
Those three identical trees [larches?] side by side amused me. Is this anywhere near where you live?
And I like the way you have made them do a little dance.

Such an interesting crop - I would have thought this was taken out in the wilderness but from the original it is just a neighborhood. Nice job Karen! Enjoy your travels.

That's quite a transformation, Karen! I think it is very interesting and fascinating how you turned a fall image into a winter wonderland - stunning!

I love, love, love this effect! What a wonderful transformation. Very Christmas-y.

Delightful edit. The textures did great things here.

I so enjoy seeing everyone's photo art! This has such great texture and depth, I love it!

Terrie said...

That red sky is funky and interesting and the trees kind of take on an otherworldly look. A good example of how cropping can help focus attention!

Rosie said...

LOVE this Karen! I think exclusion is one of those edgy modes that completely transform an image! Bravo!
