Artist's Comments

I liked the silhouette of this tree, so I shot it.

Some PS adjustments.

Wow, it’s difficult to believe you only did some adjustments because the sky looks so mystical. I love the complexity of the tree before the vivid background; each would be not what it is without the other. The tree almost glows before the sky. It seems like an image a fantasy novel would conjure in one’s mind. That is the kind of place I would like be buried. Favorite from me.

Well "some" is a relative term, of course.

The clouds were there as they look like in the shot, of course. I just enhanced the effect and toned it.
I made it monochrome in the channel mixer, added this color to it by changing the hue (colorize mode) and used "apply image..." (Multiply Blending) to add to the darkness. And contrast adjustments. That's all!

Regardless of the number of adjustments, it is still a beautiful piece. :] I personally believe it deserves a Daily Deviation. It really belongs in the category of top-notch photos. Two favorites is almost an insult.

I wish we could edit our posts as I forgot to say: If I could favorite this piece a hundred times to forward it into the top-notch category, I would.

wow, is it normal for the sky to be like that? it looks like the world is going to end... :hmm:
anyway, i like the way that the blank spot in the sky seems to coincide with the back of the tree (from the angle you used).

I placed the light part there intentionally. I'm glad that you like it this way.
Thanks for the comment.
