 I knew I wanted to take a picture of this tree for this challenge. I just couldn't do justice to the monster and ended up overprocessing it. More than likely I will be punished point wise. Oh well. What can I say. I'm bad.
I just know someone will request a dq because it looks more like digital art. So here are some of the things I did. 2 dup layers. Middle one has a custom filter for sharpness. I have it saved, but someone with psp will have to try it out. Blended with soft light. The top one had a enhance edge filter applied and blended with luminance. Merge. Copy. Undo. Delete the two dup layers. Paste the copied layer. Edge preserving smooth applied to new layer. Blend with color mode. Merge. Run thru vp to increase color and add noise (modified photocopy). Resize. Slight usm. saved at 77% quality to get it to 150kg.
Here is a link to a resized no-edit version of the shot. //www.dpchallenge.com/portfolio_edit.php?IMAGE_ID=208183
