Did a cut-out, poster edge, and watercolour. Different blending modes for the colours. Lastly put it through a vivid chrome effect in Photo Kit. Full Frame.

Original shot, does anyone know what kind of tree this is. I took this is South America, but have seen them up here too.

Hi Jacki..I don't know the name but I saw this same tree in Provence and loved the bark. I did photograph it also. I like the effects you applied. Nice graphic rendition.

Hi Jackie. Nice effect applied to the bark! This looks like a sycamore tree to me. We have lots of these around in California. Birds love them.
