Jeremy's example of "Orton Imagery" inspired me to try it on this shot near Sol Duc Hot Springs, at Salmon Cascade last weekend. I like how it glows.

Nice effect with the orton filter. The tree really "POPS"

I'd clone out the upper left ones maybe...but I really like the effect. They pop in a painterly way.

See now you can be painter and a photographer! Cool man.

That's a cool effect, Craig. I agree that this could be cropped much more tightly around the main branch. It reminds me of a Japanese watercolor illustration (albeit on color steroids). Very striking!
