Tree Fire

I used the fish-eye lens and a combo of filters including the Fractalius filter.

Wow, beautiful vision and blends of filters. I like the perspective and the mix of color. It's easy to forget that this started as a photo... good thing IMHO. My favorite of this subject... so far. :) Very painterly!

Nice image and application, Denise.

I might have cropped a little off the bottom, to center the trunk on the intersection at the LLC. But ... well you know the rest of the story! ;) :D

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback.
Mark, Thanks, I wouldn't want to crop off the bottom and loose those branches-to me they are needed:)

I love this one too, as I did your other fisheye trees. The effects on this one are really nice. Did you use simplify and then fractalius? I'll have to try that. I'd use frac more if I didn't have to switch over to 32 bit Ps to use it.

Denise this version is very, very cool looking. I like it the best.

very kewl, love the colors

Another excellent composition, Denise. Love the colors and those swirling branches. Excellent visualization and effect.

It all works for me, the diagonal lines, perspective and composition.
If you cropped from the bottom, the area at the top of the tree were the branches begin would be too low in the frame. IMO of course.
The color palette is also very pleasing.

This would be a pleasing image even without the Fractalius filter.

My favorite yet! Love the composition, color, and creativity. I want to be there to see the fight when Artie tries to take that lens away from you.:D

Thank you all for you very kind comments. I appreciate them.
Judy, I used Fractalius first.
James, I do like the original too.
Patrick- You will be there, I have to give it back at Bosque:(Which gives me 3 more weeks!!

Your having way to much fun with that lens, you may never give it back...lovely colors, perspective and flow to this image....nice frac effect...TFS
