Theme: A Snowy Look
Global warming has really hit the snowiest region in the country: Syracuse is in the 50's this weekend, and no snow in sight. This image was captured on a walk in the woods yesterday, and then processed in Topaz Impressions, Charcoal II, to create a snowy, bleak effect.
It works for me! Nice processing for a dark winter day. I like the look of the trees.
I would love for you to do a snow overlay to put it over the top! It's easy to make one with a few steps. http://www.photoshopessentials.com/p...hotoshop-snow/ I need to write it down again as I forgot how to do it but I bought some snow overlays from 2 Lil Owls last year.
Hi, Wendy, it's in the 80's here - it's been one of the warmest winters so far for this area. Finally at the end of the week we're going to get a little bit of cold. Your image looks bleak - I like Judy's idea about creating snow - it's fun to do

I like this image a lot--the row of trees, the repetition of shapes, the starkness, the look of the bark. Very nicely done processing. It looks more like autumn to me, not winter. The ground looks like dry grass. It looks great, but not snowy. A very nice image.
As a former long-time resident of Syracuse I can hardly believe no snow yet! The charcoal effect is very good on this image achieving that bleakness of a gray, overcast day. Good composition with that even row of trees and the path leading the eye back into the depths of the image.
Judy, thank you for that link to the snow overlay tutorial. Looks pretty easy and effective.

Yes it is easy. BTW Shadowhouse Creations has some FREE snow overlays. http://shadowhousecreations.blogspot...erlay-set.html I used on on the bird photo I am going to post next. You can do as it says in the tutorial and rotate a copy layer and/or duplicate the layer for more of an effect.
