This is a repost from one that I entered several weeks ago. At that time I had not sized it correctly. I made this image in the park across the road from Fern Springs in the fall several years ago.
With computer manipulation I made a background layer and added a gaussian blur filter. I think of it as a ghost tree.

I thank you in advance for any thoughtful comments.

I like the effects you achieved Robert. The light and dark of the tree, it looks to be illuminated from behind - to a certain extent it almost reminds me a bit of a stained glass window.

I like how your post processing has placed all the emphasis on the wonderful shapes and colors, yet retains enough detail to paint a picture sort of speak. No nits here... well done!

Robert,
Great use of the Orton technique. This is a perfect scene for it. I'm sure you experiement with the effect, and have you tried it with less blur on the gaussien layer? In any case, I really like this artistic rendition of this.
