Did a cut-out, poster edge, and watercolour. Different blending modes for the colours. Lastly put it through a vivid chrome effect in Photo Kit. Full Frame.
Hi Jacki..I don't know the name but I saw this same tree in Provence and loved the bark. I did photograph it also. I like the effects you applied. Nice graphic rendition.
Its a South American Giant Green Leafy Leafydendrum Jackie ... very common down there :)
Sweet PS work Wouldn't have thought of punching it up like that but sure looks good ... and the touch of green complements in a big way !!! Excellent !!!
