    Another image from Japan. I did several takes with this image ranging from a softer version to one color inverted. This one is in the middle of the pack with medium hard edges, processed with Topaz Clean 3 flowing curls.

    That's really pretty, and the image design is excellent. I love that organic filter effect and what it does to the edges, very nice.

    I liked this immediately. As I started to look for why, more and more possible reasons became apparent. The shapes are certainly part of it with the white triangle at the top and the broad brown diagonal that helps to define it. Blue and brown is one of my favorite color combinations, so that's another plus. Then I noticed that the shadows run counter to both the diagonal and the vertical lines of the trees. It's a treat that those trees in the foreground are brown against the snow but white against the brown diagonal. Yep, I definitely like this.

    A beautiful, beautiful image. Does not look like a photograph. Lovely lines of the trees. The darker diagonal section is just right, creating interest, dividing the image, adding contrast. Wonderful shadows. I like everything about it. I haven't used Topaz Clean, and like the results you got.

    Gorgeous -- one of the best uses of Clean I have seen!

    Beautiful subdued colours, and I love the darker brown diagonal running through the image. Very Lovely!
