Man but it's cold here in Missouri! I went out looking for some of the season's first ice images and realized I need better gloves, a thicker coat and more layers of socks if I'm going to go out in weather this bad! I did manage to fire off a couple of images of a frozen lake where, just last week, I saw over 100 Canada geese. Today...nothing.
I took the image and applied an Orton Effect and then readjusted the color balance to pull back the yellow tones and bring out the blues. I thought that looked pretty good but then realized the trees needed more definition so I threw in my favorite Illustrated action, brought down the opacity a bit, added a screen layer and burned the BG on the left side back down using a mask.
