    This started out as a high-key capture. Processed with Nik Color Efex and Topaz Adjust 5. I added a texture overlay and the CS6 Oil Painter Filter.

    Your trees are usually special, and this is no exception. The processing is very effective. I really like the textures of the leaves and grasses as well as what's in the sky. Great color, too.

    Nice image and application, Denise.

    Just wonder about the cropping top and left. But Y.I.Y.V.

    Nice framing, Denise. Painterly effect works very well.............the warm pink and green tones are very nice.

    Denise, this is absolutely gorgeous! I love the pinks in the sky and touches in the tree. PB works great with the image.

    I think I saw this on FB? Really love the way the final image makes me feel, like I could walk into the picture, lie in the grass and have a picnic. Very peaceful and beautiful.

    Looks like a beautiful painting. Lovely. I like the soft colors and the definite painterly look. I might take a sliver off the top to get rid of the few black/dark areas along the top border.

    I love it as presented. The colors and the sweeping grass look great.

    Hi Denise, I am just a tad late getting around to this one but it is very nicely composed and the Oil Paint filter work is lovely. Love the colors too.
