Turn in the Road

This image was taken on our recent trip to Smoky Mountains NP. As shown this was a very colorful trip through the beauty of the Smokies.

Modifications were simple and included DAP Realism along with some minor normal PS image adjustments.

Enjoy!

This is the original image as shot, for comparison. The colors were real! ;) :D

You captured the lovely autumn colors well. The painterly effect is very nice!

I love the DAP effect on the foliage. Neither the road nor the frame do a lot for me. I would have loved to have seen some tight images of the leaves alone with the same effect.

Mark, I like the painterly look and the fall colors really shine. Nice pleasing comp. too.

Very nice composition, Mark. I am loving these colors. I like the original here. TFS.

Hi Mark, it looks like you had a nice trip and I am loving the images. The colors of course are wonderful. It may just be my crooked glasses, but I feel a slight CCW rotation for this one.

Mark, Lovely image and filter work. What a beautify scene!

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

Artie, I appreciate your comments. I thought of cutting the road from the images, but they would loose the feeling of vertical and horzontal depth, in my view. This is just a statement of what is there. Again, thanks for your comments ... All views welcome and I know why you feel that way.

Kerry, I appreciate your comment. I tried fo find something to reference and ultimately had to use the road cross section as it comes out of one curve and enters the other and my background in designing same. :) Too many years over the drafting table trying to keep those flying cars grounded! :2eyes2:;) :D
