I used plastic wrap, frac, inverted the colours, alien skin texture, texbox texture, and enhanced the colours in LAB. No poster edges! I kind of liked how I got an icy pattern in the BG.

Very creative Jackie! I love the icy textures throughout the image, and the frosty blue color is perfect.
Beautiful. Between the shape of the branches, there, and the different color in the background, there's a wonderful flow to the image that effectively holds my attention.
Interesting how the BG reads with more texture / contrast than the branches but somehow remains a BG. Like!!
Stunning and over the top creative!!!
Wonderful job with the bg. Would you please post the original. I would like to see what you started with.
Thanks Gary, here is the original.Originally Posted by gary ellwein
Wow, most impressive. This group continues to amaze me with the ability to use the myriad of available plug-ins.
Jackie, the OP is wonderful - I love the variety of textures and the flow of the image. I like the original also - I think it'd look great as a black and white

I like the shapes and ice that you photographed--pleasing shapes, lines and composition. I like the top half of the image better than the bottom half--the branches and ice stand out more. In the bottom half and on the middle of the right side the blue is paler, which I find less pleasing.
