Description
This started out as an ordinary photograph of a patch of very ordinary forest in the Skagit Valley.
I took all that green and ran it through Photoshop until I had this result. This is a single photograph, no layers, no painting, nothing but filters.
Whether you like the result or not, I hope you'll see that the possibilities in Photoshop are amazing, and that playing in postwork can produce some startling results.
Play around! Live a little! Try some filters! You never know what you might come up with.

And I like it very much! I've got Paint Shop Pro Photo 2X from Corel and it is so much fun to play around
looks wonderful you did on the postwork
Inspiring!
Really cool postwork! WOW.
Nice post work on this I have PSP but I think I would like PS as seems to have more brushes etc than PSP Lovely effects and posting!!
So many filters...soooo little time...:)
Wonderful work!
Ooooo, I like this. Filters do provide a great range of effects. I have used a number of different filters...usually one at a time but I still want to take your advice and branch out to multiple filters and just see what happens! Your results here are quite inspiring:) Great title:)
very nice colors
I have Photoshop Elements 7.0, which I have a lot of fun on. I play a lot, but I feel like I've just scratched the surface. This is beautiful! A very lovely result and a great inspiration to play some more!
This turned out realy well. Honestly I don't miss the green tone at all. Gorgeous warm colors.
You're a wizard! Excellent shot, turned into a spectacular work of art. Mark would be proud :o)
this is cool love the blends warm hugs smile, Linda Kaye
You are a great inspiration and teacher, Tara!
To think that some insect might see the world this way! Well done, Clive
OH Yes, I do know :-) And this is fabulous Tara. I like it alot.
Wonderful! :)
from summer to winter through filters. Cool
Its a very effective look.. I kinda like it myself... I have started playing more.. lol Fades etc.. I was wondering where you get this 'Flood' effect from? Could you advise... But, the picture, I do like so there (and no rant today! ...lol) Sorry for that! Rob
with a mouse, right?????
Great post work and composition. Love the colors.
Nice work looks like a colour negative.
I like what you did with it Tara!
I love Photoshop and I do play around with it...nice work
Looks good to me and love what you did with the fern type leaves. Dana
Great results :) I really like the colors you ended up with ~
Nice work! I really need to dig deeper into Photoshop... as you said; "the possibilities are endless", well if you know what you're doing which I do not...lol. Well done!
This has a wonderfully Japanese feel to it--kinda of like electro-boogie Zen, as only you'd experience in Tokyo's Ginza district...well...come to think of it, maybe it's not Elvis-garish and Anime neon enough, but still...it has a more classical Japanese vibe. I'm gonna go find some koto music and see what happens when I listen to it and look at this photo. The work you've done here is fantastic. Photoshop is amazingly fun! I don't have it on this computer, and it'll be a while before I acquire it, but still, I know and love the joys of Photoshop quite well. The Gimp works reasonably, but there just isn't as much you can really do with it...well...there is...but you have to fiddle with half-measures a lot more. But anyway...enough of that. Back to this wonder of photographic art. In short, I love it!
gorgeous, Tara, like a pretty texture for an expensive silk veil...smile
