Two Paths and a Tree

I had a bit of a play with one of the photos I took last week and when my laptop finally decided that it could handle the pressure of three images open at the same time I finally managed to get it finished (three shutdowns due to overheating later)

I have ortonised the grass area and then replaced the sky with the original, a bit of levels, saturation and hue adjustment and thats your lot.

Don't rag me about the black borders because they are only there so I can get the picture directly off Flickr to enter into comps.

I quite like the dreamy quality (though I do think I am becoming a bit of a 'chocolate box' photographer) anyway, comments welcome



Looks great Large and on Black

Re: Two Paths and a Tree

Nicely done Steve, colour of the grass is great, and like the sky also.


As Forest once said "life is like a box of chocolate"


Cheers Holo
