Description
Posted this earlier, but felt it needed some work. Placed in Mixed Medium because it was actually started in Vue but ended up mostly Painter and Photoshop. A new tool for me was the Nik Pro Sharpener which allows you to paint selected places with a brush to sharpen and works great to get an icy effect on foliage.
Have a great Holiday and see ya next year!

Not sure what is different, have to jump back in time to check it. I've seen Nik Pro advert but did know if of any value, looks like good use here. Still a glorious light to a nearly mythic scene ~ Merry Xmas and have a wonderful holiday Ken.
Stunning -- your refinements are fantastic as well. I have one suggestion: Since most Westerners read from left to right, flipping this picture horizontally would give it a "story" that unfolds as the viewer sees it, transforming a peaceful storyline into one of terror as the eye falls first on the wolf and then on the young man. Of course it works great as is...
This brings me home. You work always does that to me...remind me of my childhood. (:
Wonderful remix!! Looks great in his snow suit!
Outstanding work Ken!!!
