Description
Bet you thought this was from the Hollow .. but it's from way up north in the Spackoine National Forest Sanctuary. There was an early snow, yes, December is really quite early for snow there. There have been rumors that it was UteBigSmile's birthday, so since she is wife of the Reigning Monarch Rene's Royal Wife, and I have my own little place and free rides on the transit system, I thought it was very appropriate to wish her Happy Birthday! Long may she reign, (we all know that the Monarch's wife is the real power behind the throne, grins), may her smallest wishes come true, may all the she dreams become hers.
Okay, now the truth. This is an autumn picture from the Hollow. I turned it black and white, then ran the infrared filter, and then brightened it and added contrast, and I just had fun with it. I posted it as 2D because I painted in snow.
Thank you all SO much for the wonderful comments on the previous post, some very thoughtful comments, and some very funny comments too. I simply adore reading your comments! Thank you for the faves as well. Your support means so much to me.
The shower doors still aren't here. Sigh.

Beautiful work, dear Rita. We have had bad snow too, all gone now I am pleased to say. Lovely dedication for Ute. Hugs. Di. xx
Beautiful capture and composition, Rita. A change in the color scheme turned this into a fantastic seasonal piece :) Great place on earth, that Hollow of yours. A piece of mother natures own artwork.
Beautiful
Great job on this, it took me a couple looks after reading the text to see that the leaves were still there, just white.
Very well done on manipulating the image.
