A classic image of Mt. Hood from Hood River, Oregon through blossoming fruit trees and a barn in the foreground. Since many of us are playing with the Orton technique, I figured I throw one down too. :biggrin:

This is awesome, Ryan. So I understand this right - did you work your out of focus image in the field, (purposely), or what it a copy of your sharp image blurred, then worked with a sharp copy to make this image? just curious..

Ned, in the original image, my depth of field was off a bit, and some of the leaves were a little soft. However, the essence of this image comes from using the technique that Darwin Wiggett wrote about this month that simulates Orton Imagry. I played around with some settings to get it to appear the way I liked, but the technique was essentially the same.
