i love this shot Christina very Moody #6184102Conrad L. Conero July 15, 2008
I like this image a lot, Christina. I do have to ask you if you tilted the horizon to keep the trunk straight though. #6184597Christina N. Seuser July 15, 2008
Thanks for the comments Robert and Conrad! Conrad, the trunk is on a hill that slopes downward, I didn't tile the image at all on this one :) #6184919Lonnie M. Scott July 16, 2008
Nice shot Christina. I like the sloping horizon. and the detail on the dead wood. Is that a sand dune in the light area? Did you add vigneting or is that as shot? #6186237Christina N. Seuser July 16, 2008
Thanks Lonnie, the light area is snow and the flashlight filter on PS filter resulted in the vignetting. #6187839M.Christine Duncan July 16, 2008
Great image Christina, I like the flashlight filter, it's fun to use! Nice application here, it adds to the composition. #6187916Christina N. Seuser July 17, 2008
Thanks Christine, I am still trying to find my way around PS so this one was fun for me to do :) #6192039Laura E. Swan July 20, 2008
