This is a partially restored homestead in Winter Park, Colorado. In the winter you can only reach it on cross-country skis or snow shoes. I lightened the original in 10 increments using curves. I wanted to control just how light the image became. Then I used PS filter, sepia and Nik Viveza to add some structure. Also a layer of Topaz Detail 3. The wreath is clip art with a reduced fractalius effect.
PEACE & HAPPINESS TO ALL!!!
A lovely Christmas Card, beautifully done...hope Santa brings you everything you want....Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Nancy.
Beautiful image and processing, Nancy. Love how you colored it. Happy Holidays!!
Beautiful! Excellent work. The wreath looks like it was there to start with. Beautiful scene, great composition. I would not change a thing.
Great Holiday image. Did you ski in to get the pic?
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing the steps.
I remember this one! I like the even more high key look. The wreath is a perfect touch :S3:
I love the rustic look of the homestead and your processing is wonderful. The wreath does look like it was there all the time. Beautiful work!
Thanks all! And I did ski to this. There are many buildings like this in the area and they are fun to photograph. I have only been here in the winter as the "East Coast" adult kids and grandkids love to ski and we often all spend a week here together over the holidays.
Lovely work, Nancy.:S3:
