Ghost Walk


 

BetterPhoto.com All Time Best Photo Contest Winner BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest SECOND PLACE Winner  
Ghost Walk
Ghost Walk
This is the boardwalk that winds its way through the aspens in Ashcroft, the ghost town near Aspen, Colorado. I used a technique from Mark Johnson's Photoshop Workbench at Radient Vista. BTW congrats to all the September finalists and eventual winners! The quality of photos posted at BetterPhoto just keeps getting better IMHO.

  Ohhhh Murry, this is sooo beautiful, have been working on the blur effect ~ what I like so much about yours is the sharpness of the bridge ~ assume you did layers to keep the bridge sharp.

Fantastic job Murry ~
