Wow! What a difference from the original. Love the color tones and the added texture to add visual interest to this lone tree landscape shot. The processing really brings out the play of light and shadow in the clouds, the tree, and the mountains in the backdrop. Nicely done.

So moody! Why didn't you hang some ornaments? Who would have noticed? LOL! Beautiful scenery and you did it so awesomely!

Thanks for showing us the original too. That's a wild cloud, and it compliments the shape of the tree as well. I see the shapes as the strong point in this image. Your processing added a lot of punch too. The original may work for a good B&W too, because of the shapes in it.

I like this very much. Thanks for showing the before and after - I have never tried using overlays, but seeing these two together I think I may give it a go.

Incredible processing. It no longer looks as if it originated from a camera at all.

Reminds me of a very old painting that you find hiding in an attic, but absolutely shouldn't be hidden at all. Very lovely and the processing is nicely done.

LOL this is radically different from our Christmas here! Incredible sky, very dramatic and your processing makes the best of an already very good image.

This is a great photo. And while the original image was good, your processing of it has taken it to a level or two higher. Very impressive.
