This has a wonderful lovely feel to it. Definitely soft and foggy. The subtle bkgd texture is perfect.

Thanks Nancy! The texture came from the Oil Paint filter.

Nice texture, almost looks like snow! I like the idea of the scene, I'm thinking I would like to see the bottom of the trees. I any case it's a "cool" winter scene as presented.

I really like the soft look of the image and the composition. My reaction about the bottoms of the trees was the same as Jay's, but -- with the wall -- that wasn't possible from that point of view. Your decision to use a vignette blur was a good one in any case, but it also makes it less apparent that the bottoms aren't visible. I wonder if a bit stronger vignette might help even more in that regard.

Love the image, Judy. Makes me feel right at home.

Judy, I tried the stronger vignette,,,,,,looked good to me. I like it better with the wall than without.

Judy, I really like the mood you have with the OP. I'm thinking you could crop out the snow at the base of the wall and use a stronger vignette and it might work better. But I like the OP as well. It would make a nice Christmas card.

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. I might try to add a stronger vignette by painting it on. I had toned it down in Silver Efex from the original preset.
Cheryl, I could crop off the snow but actually the reason I did it over was because my buddy Jane wants an 11 x 14 print and it has to be as is to get it all in horizontally, but for the web that wouldn't matter. I will probably use it for an email Xmas card along with a few of the other snow photos, but I really like the processing of this one.

That was nicely done, Denise. If I didn't know there was a wall there, I'd read it as snow.

Nice base images lead to nice finished products, I think this would make a lovely card (xmas), frame 11 work for me..you've been a machine lately Judy with all these lovely images....hard to think about snow, today was almost 70f here, if not a record close to it.

Thanks to Denise, Dennis, Artie and Paul. I will try one more re-do with your suggestions <groan>! I did add more vignette and got busy and forgot to upload it.
-
I like all versions. The processing is just lovely--creating a soft, winter scene. I do think my favorite is Denise's. Lovely work.

I felt the OP need more of an anchor, hope you don't mind :) After seeing it I might take a tiny sliver off the bottom.
I like the result, but don't understand what flipping did.

Anita, when I duplicated the image and then flipped the top layer It placed the top part of the image at the base- by adding an inverse layer mask I was able to put the coverage just where I wanted it. Hope that helps :)

I understand the mechanics, but not the effect. I'll have to try it to find out. Thanks.

I like your latest version as well as the one with the wall showing. I encourage you to go with the one you prefer.

Thanks Anita! I will stick with the one with the wall for printing.
