I'm posting this one because it's so rare that we get a ground-covering snow here and I always wanted to get this shot if the opportunity arose. I used Topaz Adjust first, duped the layer and used Fotosketcher at 2 different settings, created a merged layer and then I applied Pixel Bender Oil Paint and reduced the opacity a bit. I also used Ps texturizer as some of the effect from Fs disappeared.
I like this very much, Judy, and also the others in this series on your zenfolio website. All the filter effects are well done and I especially like the BG lighting behind the tree. Somehow the centered tree in this image works well. Lovely BG texture and colors.
Judy,
This is a beautifully done winter scene. I love how all the usual sharp lines of the branches on a bare tree have been rendered as smooth, soft curves. The winter sky is beautifully rendered as well.

Thanks Keith and Richard!
Hi Judy, this is cool! I am going to have to give this a try with some of my winter tree images. Thanks for the inspiration:)
Thanks Andrew! Let us see your results.
Judy, This is my favorite post of yours to date! I LOVE IT!!:) The tree looks like it has a fractalius effect applied. The BG texture reminds me of ice crystals. The center comp. is perfect with the tree bending slightly inward-lovely!!
Judy, what a great combination of filters. It does look like fract work and like Denise said, the bg looks like crystals. Very lovely:)
Thanks so much Denise! No fract effect but the underlying Fotosketcher layers sort of added that I guess but I wanted it to be a little less detailed so I tried PB and liked it, scaled back a bit.Quote:

Thanks Cheryl and Nancy! Yes, I think the slight curve of the hill adds a lot to the image.
Hi Judy,
Beautiful effects. I could see a large print of this at the end of a hallway. From the other end of the hallway it would look like a photograph of a tree in a field on a snowy day. Then as you walk toward it it would change into the image we see now.
Well done,
Take care,
Clive
Real nice! Great winter feel, and excellent use of the different effects, with just the right touch.
Excellent effect, Judy. Great feel and love your use of filters.
Judy, I don't have anything to add to what's already been said. Very lovely work! :)
Judy, that is beautiful! Great use of Fract and the overall image is super!
