Hello Friends,

recognised this tree? This is the Banyan Tree that i have posted 2x in my previous postings but was taken on different date and different POV.. 1st one original and last one in artwork autumn colours.. this time i decided to make it to artwork again because the original shot is not that sharp..

i made 2 this time.. i was having hard time choosing which one to post.. after some hard thinking i choosed this one.. you can see the other one in Workshop including the original.. did i made the right choice? not sure you like it either.. just in the mood of experimenting again.. :)

using CS2 - sharpened, darkened, deepened, playing with colour adjustment, variation and diffuse.. very simple pp work.

thanks for looking.. (let me know which one is better.. thank you again..)

cheers, terry

Interesting work you did on this one Terry. and you're right - the original is nothing special, but you've made it into an interesting shot, with rich saturated colors and interesting shapes. Good job.

Hi Terry,
I love this tree. but it is so difficult to portray its beauty. I tried once but it is not very convincing.
This tree looks so ghostly.
You exaggerated it very well.
