Melting Trees

[Lesley Jones]

With apologies to just about everyone - I typed the words "straight trees" in the other thread and then remembered that I had some stashed away. This one is going to make your eyes funny

I actually like this one the best of all of this type of image.
I think its the strong colours and contrast that make it for me...

 

[Rense Haveman]

AMAZING!!!!

Great, great shot!

 

[Lesley Jones]

Thank you both. Rense - the original image wasn't up to much (Ron would recognise the place as he photographed the same trees about two years after me). I did want to try with straight trees though and Dave's method works very well. I really must learn more about Photoshop...

 

[Rense Haveman]

So, this is a blended shot?

 

[Lesley Jones]

Yes - taken as a normal photograph a couple of years ago, run through the PS filter and painted back selectively

 

[alfie Wright]

That works really very well, Lesley. Love it.

 

[Ronald Atchley]

Double WOW. This is even better.
Lord girl ! You is gettin' funky and doing
a durn good job of it
What PS filter ?

 

[Lesley Jones]

Motion blur - vertical - about 633 pixels I think. I didn't even know the filters were there until Dave posted his stunning woods

This I quite something too
Ive really enjoyed watching this "look" develop between you lot!
Its one of my favourite things about this place when we have these little crazes ... I can feel a little macro one on the way too now
