I made this 3 days ago when we had a heavy frost. I was out there arranging leaves when it was still below freezing! This is a new technique for me that I developed this week combining Topaz filters, Virtual Painter and Fractalius. I created about a dozen of them from 3 images and it was fun playing with the filters!

Judy, these are gorgeous! I like the softness of the first one and love the sharpness of the second! Both would be great to convey different feelings and moods.
How did you manage to get different leaves to be different colors? Did you paint each one individually or is there a shortcut here? I'd love to know!

Thanks Jules! The tints were in the leaves and I brought them out using Topaz and Virtual Painter which really pumps up the colors. No painting!

Judy, this is excellent! The colors are fantastic. For me the second one with frozen leaves is more appealing.

Outstanding work, Judy! Love the treatment, and all that color...Wow! :) I don't which version I like better. I love the softness of the first one and the punch of the second. Well done!

Thanks Denise! You can also get a lot of color using the Topaz Adjust Spicify filter which I think I used on this one first.

Wonderful leaves Judy! I like both versions, but prefer the first post a little more due to its softness.

These are outstanding creations with a combination of filters. I just can't get my imagination past one filter. This is great motivation for me to try. If I had to choose, I like the first image better, with the softer effect.

Like that pattern and colors. You could do a three panel of different versions, all contrasting with eachother. Great imagination and application of artistic tools!
