    Default Cades Cove Scratch Art

    I had already worked on this image of a tree in Cades Cove before I remembered we had Scratch Art for a theme. I originally had converted to B&W in LR, then inverted in PS6, applied a heavy dose of Oil Paint and then Nik Tonal Contrast. For the theme I increased the blacks in Selective Color.

    Cheryl, good image for the theme - it works really well. I like the composition, with the single tree in the foreground and the stand of trees in the distance.
