Plan B

Weather has been miserable.

Story of this image started with an idea to shoot "half a tree". Then I merged another heavily edited shot, or layer(s) of the same tree on "background". Finally I was not happy with gray/white sky, which I then turned blue with few white hazy clouds. Simply too many staged of post processing to explain in details...

And while writing this, and sitting inside, the darn sun started to shine between the clouds, like mocking my foolish attempts.

Oh, this picture looks hideous on my PC at work! Well, at least the idea was good... And I learned some new editing tricks.

This looks a lot like the woods here Sami. (Very interesting music.)

Thanks Karen. So, you have larches?

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… ^club

We do have larches here Sami, but not this big. Your trees remind me of many of the evergreen trees we have here with the big, long branches. SO pretty!
