Electric Forest

[Kerry Perkins]

This started as a picture of some cottonwood trees, then something went horribly wrong... :eek: Nikola Tesla was experimenting with electricity and charged the entire forest with electrical energy. Can't you just hear it humming and crackling?

Used a solarizing effect in Nik Color Efex, then some radical Hue/Saturation changes as well as a burnt edges effect.

Hi Kerry,
This is called the Enchanted Forest...:D I like the applied effect...well done...:cool:

Kery, I think the solarized effect works well to convey a sense of electrical charge gone crazy!The burnt edges is a perfect touch!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

I saw that movie too Kerry! Great treatment and the burnt edges top it off!

[Harold Davis]

you are gonna blow up the generator, kerry!!!!!! awesome stuff! i like the treatment. and happen to be a tesla fan. only wish there was someone as smart as him today!!

[Julie Kenward]

Well, although I like the treatment, I think its a really busy image - I'm having trouble finding a place for my eyes to land without feeling like they're getting retinal burn. Part of me thinks it's cool and funky but part of me is glad I don't have it hanging on my wall. Maybe with a few less trees???

[Kerry Perkins]

Julie, that was the intent! Was hoping to make it look like it is in motion... ;)
