Some images are perfect for filters like the ones I used here. The colors were vibrant and this made for a more interesting outcome!

Hope you like it. #1367978

You're right, Pom. The frac and other DDR work give this scene added variety of colors and light. Very cool abstract, with a great title. #9341668

My Friends! So happy to see you all here.

You GOTTA come see all of this stuff for yourselves at some point in your life. ONLY IF YOU CAN HANDLE places that are MORE THAN QUIET.

Still. Calm. Surreal. I mean it. If you hear TWIGS behind you, it's either your spouse or a BEAR! HA!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all very much.

Laura, do you see the monster hiding under the log on the right underside? This is a intriguing photo. #9350407

Irene Colling level-classic April 20, 2011

I love dead tree's. The wood acheives so much character when the leaves are gone, the bark is missing and you can see the tree rings.

This is a great piece of driftwood and your added effects nicely makes the most of the wood grain.

Nice work Laura. #9360884
