A Tree Grows by the Barn

Our photo club has adopted the WWYD challenge. There are 8 seed photos which we can play around with. This was another shot that I felt fell short of "a good shot to play with". No one on 365 would post a tree that's missing some of its branches. But I managed to come up with an acceptable new home for the half trimmed tree anyway.

[Dawn]

Nicely done

[Diana]

You did a wonderful job and edit here Ann! It never ceases to amaze me how you have the ability to see something and know what to do.

[Issi Bannerman]

Wonderful use of that tree!

[winghong_ho]

Lovely tones of the edited photo.

[Joan Robillard]

You are good at this

[katy]

That tree looks much better on the farm than it did by the ocean. Excellent processing but that’s nothing new for you.

[margonaut]

you amaze me! Are you using photoshop?

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Looks great, Ann.

[Renee Salamon]

Great reinterpretation of the original shot - I like the sepia too

[haskar]

Nice processing.

[gloria jones]

Neat images...The sepia image stands out.

[Kathy]

This one's a real make over. Well done.

[LManning (Laura)]

I do like that sepia.

[Rob Z]

Yes - the tree is quite at home in your lovely vintage image.

@margonaut Thank you Margonaut- I use Smart Photo Editor. Photo Shop's monthly fee annoys me. I don't want to "rent" a program. I want to load it into my computer and be done with it. SPE is a yearly fee and there are so many effects and applications I'll never scratch the surface of all I can do with it.

Thank you Dawn, Diana, Issi, Winghong, Joan, Katy, Margonaut, Marilyn, Renee, Hannah, Gloria, Kathy, Laura and Rob!

Thank you so much for your high compliments and praises of my processing skills. I do have fun with this challenge- although the 365 seed shots are usually a lot better to work with than this one was!
