[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took some pictures of trees and exposed roots during an outing in the Oldman River Valley in Lethbridge and I played with it in photoshop. I used 2 pictures. The first one rotated, flipped and merged, the second one was a close up of exposed roots which were cranked through a bunch of filters, sized, sphered and then cloned in. I also used lens-flares in the process.

Hi Otto,
You wrote in your Intro page:"I am foremost a painter"! Here you painted this image with your lens and post-processing! The result is fantastic! I like these inextricable roots making me think at the "Thousand Hand Goddess" film.
Very artistically done! Annie

Hello Otto.How are you my friend^ I am missing a lot your artworks.I like this one which is very mystical and attractive.Love the sphere right in the middle.Is this the heaven gate for the tree spirit?
