When I went to Banff I stayed at the Post Hotel. It was so cozy w/ a beautiful fireplace. I took a picture of one of the cabins and added the fractalius filter to it. I used my soft fix preset that I created within the program.
I love the look and feel of this image. I'd like to ask if you used a mask in the chimney area to reduce the filter effect just a bit. It almost has a lensbaby look only much better. The stones in that area seem to be sharper than the rest of the shot. I think it's great.
Thanks Christopher.
Dave, Thanks, I masked back in some details throughout the image where I thought would look good and yes the chimney was one of the areas. Sorry, I should have stated that in the post. I forgot.

I don't know if it is me or the image. But given the rest of the viewers comments, I have to presume it is me! :eek:
I am unable to view it, as my eyes keep zooming in and out when I try!!! :eek: It looks like a 3D image without glasses! I knew my vision was getting worse, with age, but ... this is something else!
I like the base, but can't say I would put the image on the wall. The few friends that visit we want to keep! :eek: :D
No offense, but it is very weird to view from this end.
Hi Denise, I really like how you conceptualized the overall image and the mood. Great colors and effect... almost like an illustration from fairytale book. Beautiful work.
Thank you all for your comments.
Mark, I do disagree but I appreciate you taking the time to comment. :eek::D
Indranil, I couldn't put my finger on it but yes-it does look like an illustration.
Paul, It was a dream place for me. Canada is beautiful and I can't wait to return.

Sorry Denise. I can only see what I can't see. I like the image, but the effect is a little too much for "my eyes" to take in. Others see what they see ... ;)
Looking at it this morning I get the same dizzy feeling. :eek: But ... you know the saying! :D
Wow, you are getting good at this stuff. I love this one. Not only would I hang it on my wall I would love to be inside that cabin. You have given the cabin a mysterious magical look. I might actually try a version with the fireplace a bit softer. And the COMP is loverly. My only wish is that there were a few more trees to block out the mild expanse of white sky.
