I wish I had the nerve to hang some ornaments on the tree before taking the picture!
Processing:
Color Efex Pro (CEP) Bi-color Filters
CEP Tonal Contrast
CEP Old Photo, 25% opacity
Overlay I got from someone on the site I can't remember who got it somewhere else they couldn't remember
Wow! What a difference from the original. Love the color tones and the added texture to add visual interest to this lone tree landscape shot. The processing really brings out the play of light and shadow in the clouds, the tree, and the mountains in the backdrop. Nicely done.
Thanks for showing us the original too. That's a wild cloud, and it compliments the shape of the tree as well. I see the shapes as the strong point in this image. Your processing added a lot of punch too. The original may work for a good B&W too, because of the shapes in it.
I like this very much. Thanks for showing the before and after - I have never tried using overlays, but seeing these two together I think I may give it a go.
Reminds me of a very old painting that you find hiding in an attic, but absolutely shouldn't be hidden at all. Very lovely and the processing is nicely done.
LOL this is radically different from our Christmas here! Incredible sky, very dramatic and your processing makes the best of an already very good image.
