Many of you may have received news tonight of the Yosemite Renaissance juried exhibit judging finalists. Congratulations to Robert Dayton for his entry of "Moss Covered Tree" in Yosemite.
Robert can confirm, but I believe it is this (or a version of) image he posted back in November here on CANP.
I know at least several members of CANP/NPN entered this competition, including myself, and am glad to know that someone from here made the final cut. Congrats Robert!

Thanks, Lon. I haven't received any confirmation yet. When I do, I'll let
you know which image it is for sure. I submitted two of the same tree--
one as you've indicated above and the other a spring version.
WOW, way to go, Robert. I do recall that post here at CANP and my original comment then was based upon your PS modifications making for an excellent finish overall. Congratulations on this newest honor regarding that image.

Congratulations, Robert! Way to go!!!! I look forward to seeing your print hanging at the Park.

Thanks for all the encouraging compliments. You've all been very supportive
during the one year that I've been a member of NPN.

This is a very nice photo. I can easily imagine it hanging it in my home. Congratulations Robert! I am sure it feels good to be recognized.
I would like to experiment with this technique. Is it possible in Photoshop Elements 7? Is there a good tutorial available?
Thanks
Roland

I'm sure that there are tutorials available. They may be listed under "Orton"
effect. What I did was a "gaussian blur" which I suspect is essentially the
same thing. Friends helped me. In The Luminous Landscape there is a
tutortial that you might try: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/gaussian.shtml.
I suspect that you can do it in Elements 7. I did it 3 years ago in Elemens 2.
Good luck, and thanks for the compliment, Roland.

I consider it quite an honor to be selected.
