Trying too hard!

Perhaps one that only a mother/father could love.The light was horrendous when I saw this Dogwood but we were far enough from home that it was now or never. In processing there was no quit to me in trying to make this into something better or at least goulish. I have no idea what all that I did.Ido know that IR was involved.
I ended up with something that I liked--probably because I had spent so much time on it that it became family.

Not too bad, Dan--the fence is a bit cheesey, but the large version has some nice detail that would probably look pretty cool in a print.

I like the IR effect Dan and the detail in the larger view.

Dan, I want to express my sympathy as I hear that people find your picture rather pretty! Now you must be disappointed...

Boy, if you cut off the trunk and crop real close on the left side...it looks like some horrid swamp monster! You can even see his smile!

This cottonwood looks beautiful Dan..
I think it would look good at a smaller print size
