Thanks Tom. You know I appreciate the feedback. Its real good to be
working on photos again. This photo needed a treatment of some kind as
the original was a little iffy for exposure / color value.

Thanks Azzaro. Nice to know this work up stands up enough to be considered.
Agreed that different is good sometimes. This one may be decent enough to see printed.

I like how the orange and yellows blend so well together. Against the white sky it really pops

Glad you like the take Mary Kim. I was attracted to the same values you mention so I left the processing
as is. I seem to be leaning toward Orton like effects lately.

Morning Michael,

Interesting shot, I really like the post processing, gives it a dream like quality.

This is an Orton -- I didn't even notice that

May I ask how you can get your background so nice and white?

Interesting image Michael. If you cropped out the last tree on the right the remaining truncks would make a sinister Romanesque "666"

That's something I missed. Wow...that's really eerie......

Love it! At first glance, I thought it was a double exposure of a leaf over the trees! It's the way the branches are lit from behind and very straight; they look like veins in a leaf.

Wonderful photo!

Glad you like the processing Craig. I find myself amazed how often I turn to this style of PP.

Mary Kim, I think the even over cast skies allowed for the clean white when I boosted the white
side of levels. That coupled with addition of hue/saturation to taste and then off to virtual photographer
for the "Orton" like effect. So in short I didn't have to do anything fancy to get the nice white. It was
pretty much already there. Just a couple of small PP pushes brought it out.

Thats weird Jack. At first I didn't get what you meant but I see what you mean now. Interesting your
seeing it to even point it out. For as much time as I spent on this image I missed that detail
entirely and I'm sensitive to the 666 notion in those things I'm exposed to.

Thank you Lee. Nice of you to say. I've yet to actually try a double exposure effect with any of my
photos. Your initial "seeing" it with this shot gives me the motivation to try it on the image.
Appreciate your mentioning it.
