the tree by northy

the tree

another one from Sunday... when it was absurdly warm and beautiful... unlike today which has been cold and snowy :)

thank you all so much for the great response to my golden hour shot from yesterday... just for comparison, i will try to post a colour version... the city really was bathed in gold :)
What an interesting tree!

I love the softness around the delicate tracery of the tree branches - negative clarity or gaussian blur? I've put a Fav in the post to you ;-)

I absolutely love this!

@vignouse thank you... It's negative clarity... I love what it does to trees :)

@northy I used to use negative clarity but lately I've taken to using a 10 pixel Gaussian blur and controlling the depth with the opacity slider and a layer mask enables you to vary the effect in different parts of the image.

I love the lean to that tree.

@vignouse hmmm... I'll have to give that method a try... I do use Gaussian blur a fair bit for other things, but rarely for street or nature... I'm not sure why other than a twisted view that decreasing clarity somehow preserves more of the reality than adding blur ;p
