| I really like this! I can't believe it did so poorly. I didn't vote in this challenge but if I had I would have given you at least an 8. |

| With the dog present, it looks a bit too processed, but just looking at the trees it looks like a really neat winter scene with snow covered trees. |

| I think I can see what you wanted to portray in the composition. A ghostly dreamland that the dog, Earl, wanders into. I get the feeling from the title it is supposed to be serene and otherworldly. The thing is that it looks too much like an overprossessed negative that would not at all be visually appealing to most viewers. The mood of the piece is more spooky, errie, haunting and threatening instead of a serene "dreamland" - that comes mostly from the dark colors and 'burnt' look of the composition. If you were trying to get a dreamy look, then a soft focus would be one way to go. One suggestion is to use layers. First copy the whole image, make another layer, and place that copy directly over your original. Then change the layer copy from Normal to Overlay at 10 to 30%. Lastly choose Gaussian Blur for the layer copy and play around with how much will get you a soft focus 'otherworldly glow'. Depending on the size of the image it may be small as .50 to larger sizes that require a setting of 3 or 5 to get the look. |

| Inverting the photo would have worked well if not for the dog. Inverting the dog just didn't work well for me. |

| I have a hrd time finding naything positive to say about this, sorry. As digital "art" this might work, but as a photo it does not. |

Though I understand teh story and meaning here, the inverted colors don't really work well for me on this.
I've seen a number of long tree lines inverted to make them look infra-red, and does take a bit of adjustment before the inversion. |

| I haven't the opportunity to see the original but I don't don't think the inversion enhances the image. I like the leading lines of the trees. |

| Sorry but I don't like the post processing you did with this picture. This is just my opinion and I'm not an expert. Others voters might fall in love with it. Good luck. |
