The forest and the trees

[Jackie Schuknecht]

My apologies for not posting for awhile. I have been busier than usual (I know who isn't:))
Took this pic of some trees put it through DAP chalk, some embossing, Lucis art SE, NIK Coloured gradient filter, snow, dodoging and burning, and darken lighten center. I like the ominous look of it.
Comments Appreciated.

Jackie, You've been missed! I love the layered BG look and the colors are fantastic. That blue on top is something special. Very nicely created:)

Nice image and application, Jackie.

Like the fog like softness.

Jackie, This is a beautiful composition and treatment. Love the colors and the spacing for the trees is just right.

I really like the layers of color and lines here.. I'm not familiar with the DAP program, but I like the effects. I think I'd try using a bit less 'snow' for a bit of a softer feel, but this is very pretty :)

Hi Jackie, Love the colors and soft look here. The snow adds a lot to the feel though I agree with Cindy that a touch less snow might be good, just so the softness can shine through.
